hey I'm Donnell bell for cnet.com and i'm here to show you the samsung galaxy player 3.6 this is Samsung's most direct competitor against the Apple iPod Touch got the same screen size around 3.5 inches it's a three point six ish inch screen thin and light design it's got all those media player capabilities in running Android 3.2 point 6 and it's priced really well it's priced out a hundred and forty nine dollars so that's fifty dollars less and be paying for an ipod touch I also have to say I really like the design i've handled to other galaxies players before they're the larger models more expensive models this one actually feels more like a high-end Android phone without the phone on the back you've got this nice kind of gunmetal finish you've got the two megapixel camera on the back on the bottom here you've got the headphone jack and the micro USB port for charging and syncing samsung also includes some headphones with some replaceable ear tips and a microphone on the headphone you also get the charging connector here so you can charge this up not much to complicate things for that and also on the back here I also like another thing that's carried over from the phones is that you can rip off the back and you got the replaceable battery here and you've got the microSD memory expansion so if you want more than the eight gigs of storage that come standard you can plug a micro SD card up there and store more stuff so what's the bad news the bad news is is that the screen is not that great so 480 x 320 resolution screen has a pretty bad viewing angle for the extra fifty dollars you pay for an ipod touch you're going to get double the resolution much better viewing angles you're going to get an HD camera on the back knowing samsung the price here is probably to dip towards that hundred dollar ninety nine dollar range if it gets there i could probably look past the screen and just buy this to have fun with as an android fan something else i can keep all my apps and games and I not to worry about running down the battery life because it's my phone so there you go that's the samsung galaxy player 3.6 if fun device probably one of the best players I've seen great price mediocre screen still worth checking out especially with that price gets down towards one hundred dollars for cnet.com I'm Donald bell
