Samsung YH-J70 Reviews

CNET Asia has a posted a reviewed about the Samsung YH-J70 (20GB). They write:

 

While Apple went out for minimal features in order to keep its iPods looking zen (no offence, Creative), Samsung, like most Korean companies, prefers to play it by the numbers (of features). Though it’s a force to be reckoned with in the MP3 player market with its status as the largest flash memory manufacturer, as well as a stated resolve to unseat the iPod from top dog position, Samsung still has some way to go before it can emulate the universal appeal of the iPod.

 

T3 has also reviewed Samsung YH-J70 and find the p layer dissapointing as they write ‘Alas, although this has features coming out of its chunky little ears (MP3 encoding, FM tuner, slideshow function, cuddly toy…), it’s got a menu system so archaic, the original blueprints for it may be on King Tut’s tomb wall. Getting tracks onto it is painful too, because of Samsung’s primitive software, whilst all videos have to be converted to a proprietary format or be denied entry. Oh, and then they look smudgy anyway.’

Good Gear Guide has been a little kind in their review and give the Samsung YH J70 and an above average rating of 3.5 out of 4. They like the features ‘18 EQ presets, line-in recording, FM tuner, FM recording, high quality earphones, video playback, USB Host mode, photo viewing capability’ but dislike the pricey tag. Overall they conclude ‘An MP3 player with advanced recording features,a small footprint and photo viewing, although this does come at a price.’
