Samsung YP-P2 MP3 Player Looks Familiar

Announced at the IFA in Vienna, Samsung's new media player has some basic features to complement its good looks: MP3 and movie playback, a WQVGA screen, bluetooth 2.0 (and Bluetooth Stereo headphones) and recording, either from an external source or from the built in FM radio. Details are scant – the player isn't even up on the Samsung site yet – so we don't know if it has a touchscreen, but the machine-translated press release confirms both "a bell and a text editor."
