The latest Samsung YP-T8 offers 500 strands of Megabyte space on a miniature player combined with a handset phone to allow you to achieve the quality sound you deserve. You do not have to worry about excessive button options, trying to figure out what button to push next. Unlike some devices, Samsung YP-T8 offers you the ability to listen to tunes while you view photos at the same time. Like any other device, Samsung YP-T8 has pros and cons. The pro is that the sound quality has a strengthening effect and you have top of the line battery life. The Samsung YP-T8 is easy to manipulate, and the software offers you the best features in uploading music quickly. Radio is available. The con is that the device will not work with Macintosh systems.

The Samsung YP-T8 has a flash player capability with flair that gives you quality sound and video. Play movies with flash over a slimming lightweight quality device nice enough to give you playback videos. The radio receptions have caused some complaints. Samsung YP-T8’s price tag is a little steep. The quality of audio is good and clear. You have playback video options, yet the device has swindling control systems that make the file transferring software lack in its design. The device has a screen designed to allow movie watching, yet some of the features offered restrict you from using flash memories to the fullest ability. The Samsung YP-T8 is now one of the smallest players sold. The advantages of this device are that you can view JPEG files and photos on the screen. Samsung added a voice-recording microphone so that you can record voice without a problem. You have to check it out for yourself, just shop around but beware as the price is something that might turn you away.

This Mp3 player not only plays music but can play back video, display pictures, text, and even has some built in games. Read more

    Does lots, mostly well, but it's a big chunk of cash for a dinky chunk of capacity Read more

    The Samsung YP-T8Z is a very capable media player with features that can be used by all computers users in the market for a capable and portable multimedia product. Throughout my 3 months testing this player, I have yet to realistically find one major fault other than the irritating onboard games. Read more

    This mp3 player/FM radio is an older version and small in the memory department but none the less a great player with so many features! There's games, great sound quality, different EQ settings and so much more. If you want to listen to a relatively small song list with really good quality, this is the mp3 player for you! Read more
