At last, somebody, somewhere will sell a credible alternative to the iPod Touch.
Apple has had the phone-less pocket computer market to itself ever since September 2007. This is about to change, thanks to Samsung’s Galaxy Player, a non-cell version of its super-successful Galaxy S.
Samsung got a rather crappier Galaxy-branded media player into European stores last year, but this one is the real deal. It sports a pair of cameras (3.2 megapixels on back and a VGA webcam up front), Bluetooth, GPS, a microSD card slot, a 1-GHz processor and Android 2.2 Froyo.
The screen is 4 inches diagonally, bigger than the Touch, but with a lower resolution of 800 x 480 (the Touch boasts a 960 x 640 “Retina” display). The Player is also thicker than the Touch — 9.9 mm against 7.2 mm — but this is likely how Samsung manages to fit in a better camera and a removable battery.
Pricing has yet to be revealed, but we know what sizes the player will come in: 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB. More to come from CES, which is less than two weeks away.
