Samsung YH-999 PMC

The arrival of the Samsung YH-999 PMC (portable media center) provides the first serious challenge to Creative's well-received Zen PMC. Many industry analysts question the need for portable players that combine music, video, recorded TV and pictures...

If you've got a Media Center PC, download a lot of movies, spend your time travelling and can handle the price tag, it's worth considering a Portable Media Center. But despite its good looks the YH-999 is let down by insufficient battery life and the...

Performance

Samsung YEPP YH-999 PMC (20GB)

Compact, ergonomic, and visually appealing design; built-in kickstand; strong bookmarking feature; intuitive PMC software; impressive integration with Windows Media Player 10.0 and Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE).

Subpar battery life; no removable battery; no programmable preset buttons; controller buttons a bit small; no audio- or video-recording capabilities; works with Windows XP and Windows Media Player 10.0 only; no higher-capacity option; average audio...

If you want the most stylish PMC, look no further than the YH-999; if you need a battery that goes the distance, try elsewhere.

While the YP-999 is the smallest and most portable PMC yet, there were some sacrifices made to get there.

Good for the traveler

I purchased this last year on ebay. I bought a refurbished unit for under $200. I would have never paid full price. But for under $200, it's a good product.
