Is Samsung's MP3/MP4 research division closed?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

It's been quite a while since Samsung released a decent MP3 player (not a dumbed down phone).

The last good mp3 player they released was the P3 but it lacked a couple of things (sd slot mainly).

I've been looking at the current mp3 players and other than the j3 (or the D3 if it wasnt so overpriced) I cant seem to see any players that really stand out.

 

I know the Ipod/Iphone pretty much killed the market (I truly dislike apple), but come on if the only company that's has an interesting mp3 in the works right now is Fiio it shows either that the big players have given up on the mp3 market or that they really believe that we are sheep.

 

Anyone knows if the major mp3 player makers in the industry have released info about future releases of interesting players or the future of portable music lies in spending 800 usd for a Iphone?

Samsung Galaxy S 4, 5 are coming soon with quality features and Andriod software support.

After the P3 came an M1, as well as a confusing set of R models.  Not all were released to worldwide markets. Their MP3 player group was merged into their phone group after the P3, and so thats why most of their products are phone-ish.

 

The M1 was a nice bit of kit, and included a microSD card. Sort of Samsungs answer to the Cowon J3.

M1 was released before J3, just not worldwide.

before the galaxy player, samsung also released Q3 , U6, S1
