To coincide with the official announcement of the Samsung MyFit, IceTouch, and TicToc, the company has released 3 separate promotional videos for each device recently unveiled.
Not anything particular that we didn’t already know here, but it’s a great opportunity to catch all three devices in action. Get a round-up of each player’s features including an insight into their interactivity.

If the neither the IceTouch nor the MyFit satiate your appetite, Samsung have unveiled another tune pumping gadget called the Samsung TicToc YP-S1.
Available in either 2GB or 4GB flavors, the TicToc holds a unique one-button tactile control that carries out different functions depending on how the player is held.
If you hold the player:
File support is like what we come to expect from Samsung with support for MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, and FLAC file formats. And keep your tunes pumping for 12 continuous hours on a single charge.
Each player comes with three different decorative shells, a pair of matching in-ear headphones, and a charging cradle. In a choice of either blue, pink, and silver, the TicToc is yet to be given a formal release date or an announcement on availability.
For a better [visual] explanation of the one-button control, check out the video after the jump…
The recently announced Samsung IceTouch has received its first public hands-on-test by the Engadget crew. We get to see the rather mysterious two-inch transparent AMOLED screen in action. Engadget informs us that this player was merely a prototype and was not loaded with any video capabilities.
Regardless, the touchscreen/user-interface appears to be rather responsive and receptive to the human touch. Let’s wait and see on the players’s video responsiveness. Video after the break…
Media player manufacturers are lining up to announce their products only days before the start of the CES 2010 exhibition. Yesterday, we saw the Viliv HD5, and today it’s the turn of Samsung’s new MyFit and IceTouch (YP-H1).
The Myfit has been designed with the energetic sportsman in mind. If running or jogging is the name of your game, the Myfit is going to be your fit. The device is packed with a host of sensors to measure things like the number of calories lost.
Available in either a choice of 8GB or 16GB, the MyFit’s file support is limited to MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC, and MP4 files.
The 16GB IceTouch will strike a chord with the traditional MP3 player fan-boy. The player with its unorthodox exterior design packs a 2-inch “transparent” AMOLED display with Samsung’s trademark TouchWiz Sweep (touchscreen) technology.
The device supports MP4V, WMV, H.264, Xvid, Divx video types and MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, AAC, M4A, WAV audio files. Let’s not forget that the player supports Dolby 5.1-channel technology. Available in a choice of either pink, silver, purple or gray, the player includes a photo viewer and FM radio.
Both players are expected to see a release date of early next year.
The Samsung R1 has received its fair share of attention ever since its announcement. Originally announced in June of this year, there has been no sight of the player by geeks-alike in the English speaking nations – the video promos have only kept us wanting more. Of course, the Koreans have been fortunate to see the player released months ago.
For some of us, the wait is finally over. The R1 has been spotted on Amazon.co.uk; although, the rest of us in North America are kept waiting for sight of the player.
Amazon has the 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB players retailing for £117.49, £182.09, and £198.19 respectively.
Specifications:
There is still no sign of the Samsung R0 stateside. Although the player has been released to the likes of the Russian public, we weren’t ever sure we were ever going to experience Samsung’s newest player.
Unfortunately, the awesome promo videos that are being released don’t help us swallow the neglect we are receiving. The worst news is that we are about to make things a bit more difficult – an unboxing of the player has been posted showcasing the player in action.
As depicted in the video, the player features an intuitive, clean user interface that is user-friendly. This small, nifty player doesn’t hold back on features neither. From FM-tuner to text reader to picture viewer, the player has it all – we like what we see.
With that said, the player falls rather short of the P3, but those are big steps to follow. Tell us what you think…
If the bar has been set when it comes to promotional videos for MP3 Players, Samsung are the ones to beat with their new video shoot for the Samsung R0. The francophone division of the company has released the video (which is in English); no we don’t quite get it neither.
Announced for release last week, the Samsung R0 is available in either 4GB or 8GB capacities (let’s not forget that microSD slot) with support for the usual files including DivX, XviD, and H.264. We’re not too sure if the R0 is packed with support for some of that open-format goodness, but we can only hope.
Although small in size, the 2.6-inch TFT LCD display exceeds expectations. Additional features include an FM radio, second-language acquisition programs, and text/photo viewer. In a choice of either black, pink, or silver, the R0 will retail for $120 USD and $155 USD for the 4GB and 8GB respectively.
Since the announcement of the device at the IFA; the Samsung M1 has remained relatively quiet. We now understand the latest player out of the Samsung camp is hitting stores in Korea.
Yeppen, a Korean site, has posted a video review of the M1 in action. From the external aerial to the GUI functionality, the review has it all. Once more, there are no foreign voice-overs. Visit their site and show a bit of love for the excellent review.
