Yet ANOTHER iPod killer....

I wouldn't either. Apple's marketing has been and is still just too successful compared to competition. They got their point across to most people: Ipod = Cool.

New DAP technology is always exciting. I'm just curious to see what Apple and the other popular manufacturers will pull out with next. (I'm mostly holding my breath for cheaper, more efficient rechargable battery technology - and soon).

, and you guys here. but seriously, unless they follow the path of "white man" cool instead of "asian cool" designs and features, then people might wanna buy from them more often. sorry to be sort of racist.

Here in the UK Samsung are very well known through their range of excellent - and painfully hip - mobile phones.
If they build a great player AND capitalise on their image...who knows?

Some good points. Note he said '#1 in MP3 player market' and not '#1 in DAPs'. Samsung have a barrage of very nice MP3 phones coming out now and shortly. They plan to consolidate their competence in the mobile phone markets to usurp the MP3 market... and it's a sensible plan. After all, a phone is practically indispensable to the person of today while a separate DAP is not.


As for Apple, they have to get their phone on. That's all there is to it.

I read an article a few months ago where Bill Gates predicted the same thing - mobile phone mp3 players overtaking the Ipod. Apple also posted a response.
