I find some irony in the fact that now that there is fancy touch interaction, and full focus on the UI, that the system that works best (you can see it here and on the iphone and android) is a screen with 'desktop shorcuts' in a grid.

@haim - Where's the irony? Clearly a home screen with visual icons is the most intuitive possible UI. What could be simpler than looking at an icon for the task you want and then touching it to perform that task?

I quite agree that its intuitive, efficient and appropriate. Where I find irony is that it is not new, flashy or exciting, like perhaps touch screens, touch interfaces or even scroll wheels have been. The devices too are sleek, sexy and powerful. And yet the UI is a desktop grid.

It looks like it is more in competition with cowon, sony and iriver. The itouch is a application / wifi based player that has many uses. Music seems almost secondary these days as sound quality is distinctly average. Samsung, Cowon, Sony etc all focus on providing great sounding players with a wide range of codec support. Very few people would choose an itouch if sound quality is the primary priority.

Until a manufacturer produces a player that offers wifi, an application development platform and a perceived coolness, the itouch will be in its own market. The rest will battle out the remainder of the mp3 market.

I kind of agree with Haim, all these advances in touch screen technology and the top UI interfaces being hailed as revolutionary, yet they all use icons which have been available in desktop PCs since the creation of the GUI OS.

@John McLean - not the Palm Pre has been announced and the amazing Web OS platform unveiling I'd dispute than point ;)

@b_o_d - Arggggggggggh! There's NO such thing as the 'iTouch'!

lol, actually there is, the Pasen iTouch (http://en.pasen.it/product_detail.php?id=23). You were right to call me on it though as I was natually referring to the ipod touch.

"What does Haptic anyways mean?

But so far it really looks amazing. I've been using the T10 since forever but the YP-P3 is really tempting.

I was always kinda afraid to buy the iPod due to its bad audio quality but Samsung seems to be doing very well with regards to quality. Anyhow, when is this Product going to be released in UK?"
