Product Description

From the Manufacturer

YP-P3JCBWouldn't it be nice to have an MP3 player that listens to you? Samsung's P3 does. You say you want short download times for DIVX movies. And you want to be able to easily put all your favorite utilities right where you want them. Plus have a wide screen that let's you know you’ve been heard when you touch it. Of course Bluetooth would be nice too. The P3 does it all. And delivers audio quality that you’ll definitely want to listen to.


Download without downtime

We know you’d rather spend your time watching videos than waiting for them to download. That’s why along with other video formats we designed the P3 to also support DIVX. Not only is DIVX the most popular format, it’s also the fastest and easiest to download. After a firmware upgrade you just download directly to your P3. Then view them in full 16:9 format. You can even capture or bookmark your favorite scenes. With the P3 your wait is over.


Good vibrations

With the P3 your videos and music aren’t the only things you’ll be touched by. Put your finger on the P3’s wide touch screen and you get a reassuring touch right back. It’s called a HAPTIC sensor. Drag your finger across the wide screen and you feel a light click. Scroll and feel a mild rumble. You can even sync the vibration to your music and videos by turning on the Vibe Woofer. No matter how you use the P3, the vibe is always good.


Command your performance

How you communicate with your P3 is up to you. Our EmoTure technology let’s you interact with its features in a much more personal way. Instead of just one main screen there are three customizable desk screens. Easily drag, tap or flick any of the colorful icons where you want. Choose from clocks, memo pads, calendars and more. There’s even a range of screen effects to choose from. However you choose it, it’s your P3 your way.


Never miss a note

Hear your music the way it was meant to be heard. P3’s DNSe 3.0 technology restores the song’s natural highs and lows. And it can create a virtual surrounding to match the genre, from dance club to concert hall. There’s even a built-in mono speaker and an FM radio. With the P3, hearing is believing.


The strong not-so-silent type

Don’t let the P3’s stylish design fool you. The aluminum casing is rugged and the glass screen is strong enough to resist scratches. Enjoy the wide, 3'' high resolution display and the full 16:9 aspect ratio without bars. In silver or black, the P3 can handle whatever you put in it or on it.


Enjoy your freedom

No more wires. Really. The P3 with Bluetooth+EDR lets you take or make calls without taking your cell out. Wirelessly listen to music in your car, on your cell phone, even play games. Transferring photos and music files is faster too. So stay connected without having to be connected.


It multi-tasks like you

The P3 is more than meets the ear. Its built-in flash player is the ideal way to play flash movies. Or to use some of the great gadgets built right in to mark an important event on your calendar, take a note while on the run, or to set an alarm for that crucial meeting. Aside from all that, you can also just listen to it.

Speaker

18-bit color






Forgot your headphones, or want to listen with a friend? The P3's built in speaker makes it happen, with surprisingly clear and powerful sound.


Reactive Touch

18-bit color

Drag and Drop - DivX

18-bit color






Transfer videos easily, just like you do on your desktop. Click, drag and drop your video files onto your P3, and DivX automatically converts them so they'll play perfectly at your command.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great player, January 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung P3 Palm Theatre Plus 8 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics)
The P3 is really a great player. For some reason, many people compare it to the iPod Touch, but that doesn't make much sense, considering it's priced to compete better with the iPod NANO.

The P3's screen is made of glass... this means, it is really hard to scratch it, unlike that odd plastic material used in most touchscreen players. The touchscreen itself will seem a bit sticky at first, but after a week or so of having it, you will barely notice this at all. The touchscreen is in most cases very responsive, though the player's UI is notorious for lagging at times. This, though, is something you can easily get used to. There are some silly little widgets, some are handy such as a clock and a calendar, but most seem to be designed for a young child. The background is customizable with images 272x480 pixels for a perfect fit. Also, when you first begin using it, you may notice the battery draining quickly, as the first of three bars will disappear quickly. The meter only stays at full when the battery is very full, i can use this for about 4 days, listening about 2-3 hours a day before i need to charge it.
The screen has some sort of special detection for touch, i believe it's called capacitive sensing, which only responds if it detects a conductor, in other words, the human body. I'm sure it also works with some random special material as well, but for the purposes of the average person, this will only respond to a human body, so you don't have to worry about anything else activating the touchscreen. You may still want to use the Hold button though, as there are volume and a power button on the top of the player.
The screen on this player can play videos at up to 800x600 pixels, which is pretty good for a player of this price. It's no Zune HD, but it sure does look good on the 3 inch screen.
The player body is made of some plastic, but mostly metal. I have heard of these things surviving all kinds of punishment, even have 45 pound weights dropped on them in the gym. The touchscreen and everything still worked in that case, the only problem were cracks and the player being slightly bent of course.
The P3 has all the typical features of a Samsung player, the DSNe, bluetooth, etc. etc. What is really surprising is its support for .flv files, and a flash player for .swf files. Yes, this means you can play flash games and watch flash movies on your P3. It can also be used to pair with a phone as a hands free device via bluetooth.
The only thing i would ever really worry about would be the fact that you can see directly inside of the player, as in you can see all the microchips and whatnot inside of it through the headphone jack. This could lead to dust getting in there, but this is easily solved by either just blowing it or or just leaving headphones in all the time.
In short, this player is really fantastic for 150$, which, again, is the same price as an Nano. You get so much more for almost the same price, it makes me wonder why anyone would ever buy a Nano.

5.0 out of 5 stars I finally found a user friendly mp3 player!, August 11, 2009
This review is from: Samsung P3 Palm Theatre Plus 8 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics)
This was the third mp3 player I purchased after returning the first two. And, it was the only one that had a decent manual. You can easily download music from multiple sources, and the touch screen is fabulous. My tech-expert nephew suggested I read reviews on sites like [...], etc. and that is where I found the reviews on the Samsung YP-P3. I immediateley ordered one, and have not been disappointed in any way. If any of you want a user friendly music/photo/video player - this one is terrific - Absolutely NO cons!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great MP3 Player!, June 2, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung P3 Palm Theatre Plus 8 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics)
I think this is a great MP3 player for the $$$. I like the ease of use and easy file transfer. I'm a drag & drop guy so I loved that about this player. I remember one review on this player complaining about it not storing other files but I've found it to work just fine for me. Of course i have only added photo's so I can't give a full review on that function. The touch screen works pretty well, not great, and I have to say it's not as good as the apple products. That really is the only knock that I would have on this MP3 player but it's not really a big one. All in all I think I got a great product for the money that I spent.
