CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Samsung YP-P2 is a well-designed player and distinctly affordable for what it does. The only problem is that what it does just isn't as impressive as it could be. It sounds great and it's easy to use, but the lack of support for audio and video formats seriously hinders just how attractive an alternative this is to players from Cowon and Apple

At IFA we got chance to properly get to grips with Samsung's superb new YP-P2 MP3 player. We loved it so much we had to film a video tour just to show you!

Hands-on with the Samsung YP-P2
We get up close and personal with Samsung's new YP-P2 MP3 player, and it's an absolute corker. We wish it would go up to 16GB in capacity, though
