The Samsung Yepp YP-P3 is set to launch and now Korea is finally getting it just before CES 2009. There are no surprises as far as technical specifications go; you will be getting the same great personal music player (PMP) with Bluetooth 2.1 support.
The 3-inch 480 x 272 touchscreen with haptic feedback is the same as you would find on the P2. The new UI is flash based with customizable wedges. You can expect to get about 30 hours of audio playback of the Samsung Yepp YP-P3. Much like we are seeing in currently iPods, the P3 will have a brushed aluminum body that feels weighted in your hand. Nothing shows off that new metal body better than that cool new silver color.
The Samsung Yepp YP-P3 even has a built-in speaker for those who do not always like to use a headset. 2009 proves to be a very exciting year for PMP and touchscreen devices of all kinds with every new device we hear about. So, one to keep on your radar is the YP-P3, which Samsung just made official. It looks to pick up right where the P2 left off, improving with a new haptic touchscreen, revamped interface, and a brushed aluminum body.
