Samsung P3 widescreen portable media player @ CES 2009
The Samsung P3 widescreen portable media player was launched last week at CES 2009 and recognized with a CES Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering Award honoree. Now I know what you’re probably thinking – yet another media player right? In some ways yes, but the P3 also comes with some rather unique technology including haptic technology and Samsung’s cool EmoTure touch interface which provides widget-type menus and interactive icons.
The player has a pretty impressive 3 inch display featuring a 16:9 aspect ratio and WQVGA resolutions. Haptics plays a big role in how you interface with the media player. Everything you do with the player – whether you’re swiping your finger across the screen, switching audio tracks, holding down a digital button, or fast-forwarding video, results in some sort of physical sensation to the user. There’s also a “Music Hot Touch Key” below the touch-screen display which is basically a shortcut way to important music features.
Other features and specs to the P3 include built-in Bluetooth, microphone, speaker, support for MP3, MPEG4, WMV (with DRM), WMA (with DRM), FM radio, JPEG, and text file formats, DNSe 3.0 sound enhancement technology, and a reinforced die-cast metal casing.
The P3 will be available in the first half of this year in the following storage capacities – 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB.
