Features:
On the outside, the P2 is a very simplistic looking player. Available in wine red, black, and white, this player hasn't quite adopted all the funky and unique colour that it's brothers the T10 and U3 are available in. All you'll find for buttons are the volume up and down buttons on the right side, and the left side has the play/pause/on/off button as well as a hold switch. Although I initially thought the little LED circle on the front face would be some sort of button or navigation aid, it ended up being there just for looks. It's LED will change colours to indicate different things (blue for bluetooth connection, red for locked, etc). Over to the bottom edge where you'll find the standard 3.5mm headphone jack and the connection for the included sync/charge USB cable. Should any problems arise, there is a small reset button on the back that you can push with a small paperclip or needle head.

The large touch screen on the front measures three inches diagonally in size. It runs at a resolution of 480x272, which is actually the same resolution the popular PSP gaming device runs at. Having a 16:9 aspect ratio, you'll be able to enjoy those wide screen movies in comfort. The player will natively support both WMV and SVI (MPEG4) video formats but through the included Samsung Media Studio software you can convert practically any video format to play on the player.

With most new MP3 players these days supporting more than just the standard MP3 and WMA, the P2 supports 3 different audio formats right out of the box and I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung adds more formats in future firmware updates as they've done with previous devices in the past. Natively, it will play MP3, WMA, OGG with support for purchased DRM WMA files.

The picture viewer is practically a standard on all new colour screen MP3 players these days. With the nice large screen on the P3 you will be able to easily view, zoom and navigate through your picture library with native JPEG support. A slide show mode with customizable speed will allow you to sit back and enjoy the show if you'd like to go through all your pictures. You can also change the viewing mode between vertical and horizontal and select an image to use as the main menu background as well.
