Happy but Sad
Pros:
Alarm system, video, DNSe sound, Bluetooth Stereo, cute display, no hard drive to quite.
Cons:
Samsung support rivals Apples
Seemingly non-replaceable battery.
No accessories, none. (November 2007)
iPod go home
The Bottom Line:
Buy it to play MP3 over newer bluetooth headsets and loose the wire entanglement.
Wake up to your favourite music, once powered speakers and reasonably priced powered cables are avaialble.

Author's Review
Hi
I was relieved to see the P2.
I've been waiting for a player with Alarm and Snooze mode.
Didn't want mechanical storage for its likelyhood of failure.
Before I bought the unit I tried my HP bluetooth stereo headset, it worked well in the Big Box store.
The money disappeared from my account and I took it home to charge.
So as others say the sound is good.
The touch sensitive display takes getting used to, only the the lightest and most accurate touches work well.
The Media Studio software uses the term Datacast instead of Podcast, wonder why, same thing I assume.
Downloadable goodies are not avaialble in North America due to data protection or whatever, so a soon as you regionalize for Canaduh, your toast.
You don't have to go to the dark side and migrate all you MP3 to Apple extension. (ex apple fan).
A firmware upgrade has appeared on the samsung site, once I installed it my HP Bluetooth stereo headset stopped making a connection.
So more money was required for another Bluetooth headset.
Samsung support spouted the usual 'NO SUPPORT' excuses, grrr. So I suppose HP will help, ha ha ha.
No, accessories are currently available, an extra charging cable will cost $50 CAD. ($26.00 plus shipping & tax) grrr.
No, speaker docks, which I hope appear, I want to use this unit for an alarm clock amongst other uses.
Canaduh has no legal access to movies for downloading, I'm sure fringe users can correct me here.
I hope this unit will do me for a long time, or at least til the unserviceable battery bites the dust.
Thanks
