 Excellent and Handy Portable TV, Photo and Music Player June 4, 2005

I have used this now for over a month and I love it. It's stylish, easy to use and works well. I use it for music (I subscribe to an online music service) and I transfer TV shows to it (I have a media center PC) and watch them when I'm flying. Theoretically, you could rip your DVDs, transcode them to DivX and transfer them to this device and take them on the road or on vacation or whatever. This takes a bit of doing (you have to get the DVD Decrypter and Dr DivX programs), but if you do it this could hold about 20 movies. That'll keep the kids occupied for a while! And they could even watch the movies on the TV, not on the player, because the Yepp has normal TV outs just like a DVD player/VCR. I would definitely rather do this than buy for instance a Sony PSP and have to buy special discs that only work in the PSP...and then I guess have to buy a regular DVD to play it in my DVD player?? How about no to that.
The Yepp is too big for jogging, and is bigger for instance than an iPod, but it's not ungainly. In fact I would say it's pretty sleek. I do carry it in my pocket from time to time and it's no big deal. One nice feature by the way is the kickstand on the back that allows you to set it up when you're travelling or something and watch it without holding it up. Also, if you're just playing music it actually is kind of cool to have the screen because it shows the album art so if you're at a desk doing work you can set it up and it's a little more fun than an iPod or a screenless mp3 player.
The only problem I have had with the Yepp is that while songs transfer easily from my PC, playlists, so far, have not. Bummer for me. I blame Real's dumb Rhapsody to Go service. It's very buggy. So I blame Real. I wish I could review that >:()
This thing works great. I love it. It's really user friendly. I recommend it.
Best Portable Windows Media Center October 15, 2004

The Windows XP Media Center Edition has launched Okt. 12 in the Netherlands and I was amazed by this device that was presented at the launch. I have been using it now for 1 week and it is amazing how slick the device is, it is relativly small (Very small compared to the Creative one!).
It has AV out so it's great to take it to family or friends and hook it to their TV and show you pictures or just listen to music you brought to the party!
In my opinion it respons quickly, the screen is bright and clear.
But the best thing is the synchronisation. Boy, this thing is integrating with Windows Media Player 10 so easy!
If I had to say one thing against it that would be that the TV shows take some time to convert but that's bearable. The shows are pretty big otherwise so.
GREAT PRODUCT !! May 26, 2005

I've tested and read about them all and the Samsung, overall is the best out there. The transferring of DVD movies and television can be a little difficult. For individuals that are somewhat computer savy, it should not be a major obstacle. I have downloaded everything on it. Pictures, movies, television and music. I transfered my whole CD collection which consists of 400 CD's and I have yet to fill up the memory space. If I had to pick a flaw about this media player, it would have to be to battery life which is a little limited. That;'s most due to it's small and sleek design. On the go, this player can fit right in your back pocket. A must get, you will not be disappointed!!!!
A Great Choice for All Your Media Needs October 28, 2005

I've had this media player for about a year now and at first I was very skeptical because I was new to this kind of technology. At first I mainly used it like an IPod. However, it's so much more. I've used it to hold thousands of pictures, movies, music and tv shows. Its great in that sense that i can carry everything I want with me and immediately hook it up to a television to show my family and friends pictures or movies. Almost in a sense, its eliminated my spending money on cd's, developing pictures and buying dvds. The internal hard-drive makes it wonderful for use of back-up files on your computer. I've used it to hold all the research papers I've done, so wherever there's a computer there's no longer an excuse for forgetting anything.
It's very user-friendly with WMP 10. But with that there a few drawbacks, very minor in my opinon based on how much it does. The battery life when listening to music, with decent headphones, usually lasts only about 6-9 hours depending upon the volume. The battery is low after watching a 2 hour movie, understandably because the screen is always lit for viewing. I love how this device allows you to view the album art for your music, but I've noticed that it clashes with WMP 10 and either the album art won't transfer to the device or WMP cant give accurate album art. I suppose its a defect with Windows Media Player.
Overall, I love the device and highly recommend purchasing it. It's at a more affordable price now than a year ago. I paid $450 so its a better use of your buck over a IPod.
Just love it. The best portable device ever owned January 15, 2007

I watch a ton of movies with it. I had them rented from blockbuster. The player only reads wmv video but I converted all the movies using Crazi Video for PMC. I was able to watch them on the long usually boring bus ride. The player has 20GB that was enough to fit 12 movies. It is also light weight and very stylish.The movies have a very clear picture quality and Great sound quality.
