Samsung P2 is nice update to the Samsung product line of mp3 players. It has sleek, sophisticated, round edges, is quite lightweight, and has a black glossy finish. The quality of the sound is just perfect, especially compared to similarly priced mp3 players on the market. The battery life can be varies depending on how much you use the touchscreen interface, but on average you can expect twenty to thirty hours of use.The traditional press physical buttons is replaced with a touchscreen interface of this gadget, but the execution of the P2 interface is excellent. One thing that should mention though, is that when advancing the screen from one to the next, you have to swipe it from right to left, which seems a little counter-intuitive. The reverse is true when you are looking to go back a page, swiping from left to right.
Although it can be difficult getting it to sync with Winamp 5.5, but still the functions of the P2's audio player are superb. However, if you use Windows Media Player to sync your P2, it should work great. The P2 will sync your playlists without any problems, and is also excellent about recognizing albums when they are copied directly like a mass storage device. The integrated player functions are complete with a customizable equalizer that has several presets and a clarity adjuster. The spectrum analyzer, album art, and track info are great additions, but it would have been nice if the preset light shows tracked with the music. I consider that to be a minor flaw, though, and it doesn't really detract from the experience very much at all.
The video player is not bad, although there are some problems with motion blur while viewing dvd's. Also, in order to view videos, you will need to convert them through Samsung's software in order to play them. That seems to be fairly standard though, with most similar mp3 players requiring you to use some sort of proprietary software.
Overall, I feel that Samsung has made a great contribution to the mp3 players currently on the market with the P2. If a new mp3 player is in your budget or on your wish list, then this one is comparable and sometimes even better than the market giant iPod Touch.
