Samsung's YP-U4 and YP-Q1 go official

[mauricio]

We heard the YP-Q1 was brewing, and now Samsung has confirmed the new player, along with a followup to the U3 thumbDAP, the previously rumored YP-U4. The U4 borrows a few design cues from Samsung's TV lineup, but while it's certainly sexier than the previous generation, we can't help but think it looks a bit frumpy given the teensy grey OLED screen and stingy 2GB and 4GB capacities.



The players boast 16 hours of playback, DNSe 2.0, and come in rose, purple and blue flavors. Meanwhile, the Q1 (pictured) seems to be frump grown up, with a 2.4-inch QVGA LCD and those purported 4, 8 and 16GB capacities. Samsung is also touting its DNSe 3.0 in the new player, which can "upconvert" audio to improve quality... supposedly. You can score one in October in black, white or silver, while the U4 (pictured after the break) should be shipping nowish.

Samsung unveiled this week at the IFA in Berlin the YP-Q1, its latest Walkman digital audio video to Flash memory, which will be offered in capacities of 4, 8 and 16 GB, and in four colours ( black, gray, pink and white). With an LCD screen of 2.4 inches, the YP-Q1 displays dimensions of 98 x 50 x 11 mm, and accuses 61 g on the balance. Compatible with audio formats MP3, WMA, OGG and FLAC, it reads the WMV or MPEG4 videos and can also display JPEG, GIF, BMP or PNG. It also provides an FM RDS tuner and a dictaphone feature. The autonomy audio playback would be 30 hours, against 4 hours on video. The price of YP-Q1, which is expected to make its appearance in commerce in the coming weeks, has not yet been reported. A docking station, visible on our photos, will be offered as an option. It should be noted that Samsung has chosen to use a format connector owner, instead of USB.

It is against damage for the connector, people who want to go on other than their own PC if they do not have cable or cannot stand because generally among others have often found this famous universal USB cable

I do not know about that, but the market for mp3 is not losing momentum?

Apart from that, I do not like the connectivity priority
