Excellent and Handy Portable TV, Photo and Music Player

I have used this now for over a month and I love it. It's stylish, easy to use and works well. I use it for music (I subscribe to an online music service) and I transfer TV shows to it (I have a media center PC) and watch them when I'm flying. Theoretically, you could rip your DVDs, transcode them to DivX and transfer them to this device and take them on the road or on vacation or whatever. This takes a bit of doing (you have to get the DVD Decrypter and Dr DivX programs), but if you do it this could hold about 20 movies. That'll keep the kids occupied for a while! And they could even watch the movies on the TV, not on the player, because the Yepp has normal TV outs just like a DVD player/VCR. I would definitely rather do this than buy for instance a Sony PSP and have to buy special discs that only work in the PSP...and then I guess have to buy a regular DVD to play it in my DVD player?? How about no to that.
The Yepp is too big for jogging, and is bigger for instance than an iPod, but it's not ungainly. In fact I would say it's pretty sleek. I do carry it in my pocket from time to time and it's no big deal. One nice feature by the way is the kickstand on the back that allows you to set it up when you're travelling or something and watch it without holding it up. Also, if you're just playing music it actually is kind of cool to have the screen because it shows the album art so if you're at a desk doing work you can set it up and it's a little more fun than an iPod or a screenless mp3 player.
The only problem I have had with the Yepp is that while songs transfer easily from my PC, playlists, so far, have not. Bummer for me. I blame Real's dumb Rhapsody to Go service. It's very buggy. So I blame Real. I wish I could review that >:()
This thing works great. I love it. It's really user friendly. I recommend it.

I've tested and read about them all and the Samsung, overall is the best out there. The transferring of DVD movies and television can be a little difficult. For individuals that are somewhat computer savy, it should not be a major obstacle. I have downloaded everything on it. Pictures, movies, television and music. I transfered my whole CD collection which consists of 400 CD's and I have yet to fill up the memory space. If I had to pick a flaw about this media player, it would have to be to battery life which is a little limited. That;'s most due to it's small and sleek design. On the go, this player can fit right in your back pocket. A must get, you will not be disappointed!!!!

Look Sleek But Quality Is Very Poor

I would not touch this product. Look at Archos instead which is cheaper and has less issues. The technical support at Samsung was horrible. I would not recommend Samsung MP3 players for the general public. They make pretty good TV and Monitor displays but avoid other products.

I tihnk it's a great system, it's very sufficient, and is able to do a lot of formats, which ISN'T listed (For Example, AVI). AVI was supporting it, and I was shocked, it fit my anime onto it just fine. The only thing I don't like is the USB, and perhaps its a defect, but it barely works on my PC for some reason, it doesn't want to appear "Connected", on my laptop it's fine though. It's not the device, it's probably the cord, or something from the PC I gotta reinstall, not sure yet, but it's not the device, because it works excellently
