    It seems the trend lately that Mp3 players, like cell phones are becoming more than a one function portable device. Many manufacturers are now bundling other capabilities such as video play back, voice recording and FM tuners. Today we take a look at multi function MP3 player called the YP-T8Z from Samsung. This Mp3 player not only plays music but can play back video, display pictures, text, and even has some built in games. Read more

    While the T8's design doesn't make it the slickest player out there right now, it can play video. You're restricted by the capacity of the flash memory inside the player, but it's a small miracle that the T8 postage-stamp screen lets you watch your favourite TV shows on the train to work Read more

    • Good audio quality, Video-playback capabilities
    • Fiddly control system, Proprietary file-transfer software

    The Samsung YP-T8Z is a very capable media player with features that can be used by all computers users in the market for a capable and portable multimedia product. Throughout my 3 months testing this player, I have yet to realistically find one major fault other than the irritating onboard games. Read more

    This mp3 player/FM radio is an older version and small in the memory department but none the less a great player with so many features! There's games, great sound quality, different EQ settings and so much more. If you want to listen to a relatively small song list with really good quality, this is the mp3 player for you! Read more

    This unit works just fine for the person that isn,t looking to store a excess amount of waste. It has a 20 hr play time and capable of storing movies,pics and the obvious music. Great if you just want to have something to listen to to help make it through the day. Read more

    I fit way more than i anticipated with 512mb, mine came with a rubber casing which is excellent for running with. User interface is hard to understand at first, games really arent fun, lol, videos dont take up a lot of room which is nice Read more

    • amazing sound quality, nice big screen(for the player's size), Very light(easy for exercising with), great looking videos, amazing radio reception, and crystal clear v...
    • Not a lot of storage, controls are a bit small, videos have to be converted in real time which can take a long time.

    The good thing i like about this item is the size and shape, really nice in the pocket and no bad points that stick in you. The plastic cover that came with this is excellent and fits well and feels great in the hand. The music sounds are average and would do most people i would think. The FM radio is good as well. What hurts is the way the buttons are and what they do. Read more

  5. Its an ok product.

    the functions, audio/video quality and operation are all good. but there are some defults with the product. One, the memory capasity is only 512MB which is very little considering that the average song is 4MB, which totals up to only allowing 128 songs. but the player also has a video playback function which is GREAT except that a single video clip could take up all of the memory which mean you eaither have 128 songs, or just a few video clips.
