Samsung YP-R1 8GB

Samsung's latest touchscreen player is its best yet.

Put simply, the YP-R1 is a delight to use. Its touchscreen interface is the best you'll find on a device without an Apple logo, it's attractively and well designed and, importantly, it sounds excellent. Plus, it's almost ridiculously cheap compared to...

Samsung YP-R1 16GB PMP

A cracking little device that packs high quality video playback into a credit card-sized package.

There is a lot to like about the R1. Video playback is, by some margin, the best we have come across on a device with a screen smaller than 3in, while the sound quality is up to Samsung's usual very high standards. While there are 8GB and 32GB models...
