New from Samsung: Yepp-T7F
comment: 13 | Saturday, September 24 (2005) 11:50AM | Posted by Austin Vaughan
Samsung is refreshing thier mid-level line of flash-players (currently, the YP-T7X) with the Yepp T7F series.

The T7F adds a better color screen (1.2-inch TFT), support for OGG music, and plays MPEG-4 movies on top of the features already seen in the YP-T7X (support for MP3 and WMA music, JPEG pics, FM radio, voice recording, & clock/alarm). The YP-T7FVS (256mb) will retail for 179k Korean Won, the YP-T7FXS (512mb) for 215k Won, and the YP-T7FZS (1gb) for 260k Won. That's $ 173, $ 208, and $ 252 USD, respectively.


The T7F still ranks below thier high-end line, the YP-T8X, which is currently selling for $ 220 per Gb in the US. The T8 has a bigger screen (1.8-inch), longer battery life (20 hours), and comes in capacities of up to 2gb.

That blue model looks like it's targeted towards females. Overall I like the shape and design of this one compared to the cell phone look of the T8.

It looks nice. I like the new buttons campared to the joystick it had...I wouldn't watch movies on a screen like that though.

Wow, look at those prices. And here we're talking how Apple is making good profits with the nano. How about using the nano profit analysis on this one, and this is samsung, the one who makes the NAND chips.

I really like samsung's flash players. I prefer the look of the joystick, but this probably works better.

Yeah,that TFT logo is inane. Why do these companies make such amazing technological products and then sully them with ridiculous words and logos? Apple knows to let the design do most of the speaking.

Anyhow, this is my favorite kind of player and I'll probably buy it. FM, Voice Record, UMS, AA battery, and Flash. I really like my iaudio G3 1GB but the thing could have better FM reception. Ofcourse my favorite radio station is 30 miles away and I don't pick it up well with the G3 but have with other mp3 players. So I'll give this one a try. Seems the Amazon reviews for the Samsung model this replaces speak well of its reception.

Altough I do like the G3's joystick. To navigate you don't have to move your thumb very much. Looks like here there will be more movement. It could use slightly larger round side bottons too from the looks of it.

I wish Samsung made these in 2 and 4gb models like the Nano too.

Despite my criticisms it looks like one of the top flash players w/FM and AA.

Guess I won't get it. Looks like the AA is just for size reference. According to this page it uses Li-poly battery.

hehehe,yep that is blatantly obvious that it is for size comparison only, although the picture comparison is odd, the battery looks like a AAA, or a stretched AA,but that couldn't be, could it?? ah whatever we'll see when its released here, if its released here...
