Samsung P2
The slim and sexy p2 sounds terrific and plays a variety of music file
formats: MP3, WMA and songs from subscription services like Rhapsody and
Yahoo! Music. The pretty 3-in. screen has touch controls for viewing photos
and watching videos, which are displayed at a DVD-quality rate of 30 frames
per second. The device also works with BlueTooth headsets and speakers, and
soon you will be able to receive forwarded calls from a BlueTooth cell
phone. (You'll have to download what's called a firmware upgrade from the
Samsung website, but don't worry, it's not as difficult as it sounds.) Comes
with 4 GB of memory for $200, or 8 GB for $250.
PRICE: From $200
