After challenging the Apple iPhone with its Galaxy S line of handsets, and the iPad with Galaxy Tab, Samsung is now set to take on the iPod Touch - with the forthcoming launch of its Galaxy Player at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January.
The Samsung Galaxy Player will be a touchscreen multimedia device that will take the iPod Touch head-on in the consumer market. In afct, similar to the manner in which the iPod Touch was built upon the iPhone sans the phone functions, the Galaxy Player has reportedly been modeled after Samsung's popular Galaxy S line of smartphones.
According to Samsung Hub blog, the key specifications of the 9.9 mm-thick Samsung Galaxy Player - which will run the Android 2.2 version - will include a 4-inch LCD screen with up to WVGA resolution (800 x 400); a 1GHz Hummingbird processor; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity; HD video playback; a removable 1200mAh battery; and access to apps via the Android Market.
The device, which will feature a 3.2-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video conferencing, will reportedly be available three storage capacities - 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB.
Furthermore, going by the Galaxy Player advertisements that have been circulating online since October, the device can apparently run through several apps, like Google Search by Voice, Google Maps, Android Marketplace, camera, camcorder, and Layar augmented-reality browser and radio.
