The Samsung YP-P2 is one of the most popular players these days, with a wide range of features including touch screen, an excellent widescreen, and Bluetooth. The only thing that has been holding it down is the capacity, as so far it’s only been available in 2, 4 and 8GB. Until now.
True to their word, the 16GB Samsung P2 is now on it’s way. That should be welcomed news for those who couldn’t make due with 8GB. The 16GB version will launch in Korea in a few weeks and hopefully the rest of the world will follow shortly. No word yet if there will be a 32GB, but knowing Samsung that is still way into the future.
Update: A member of Dapreview found the 16GB P2 on BestBuy Canada

Ohhhhhhhh YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I’ma’ gonna try dis’ 1 as I’ve been waiting sooooooooo long for it. If the Zen sounds decent, and the sony A81X & S61X series sound fantastic, and this is SUPPOSED to be between the 2 – then I think I’ve been holding out long enough. I’m going to try the P2 and stay clear of the Touch and if all goes well finally find a player on the mid-ground. Especially since I prefer a 3″ screen to a 2.4″. Thank You BeeGeeBus!!!

Where’s the cradle? I have an 8GB P2, but still want the craddle!
dragnandy on March 18, 2008 7:00 PM
man!! this should have came out sooner! i would rather have this than a 16gb zen. well, how much is this thing going to cost though? the 8gb is already pretty expensive. i think the p2 would be a HUGE winner if it had an integrated SD expansion slot =[

The cradle was only a rumor. There is a video of an external speaker on youtube. Think it’s a third party product though. Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfQr7ptTUsA&feature=related

It’s not third party. They sell it on the Samsung website. Korean forums predict it will be a little less than $340 US.
wu-tangsnow on March 18, 2008 11:54 PM
Nevermind about those speakers. I thought you meant the bluetooth ones. Yeah, those speakers are third party.
Hristo on March 19, 2008 3:02 PM
Are you talking about a mere speakers?I found something interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4spLisKv-kQ It’s a great memory expansion gadget. Is it on sale and how much does it cost?
Hristo on March 19, 2008 3:12 PM
My bad. I haven’t noticed the uploader’s comment: ***This has been confirmed fake.*** Still, something like that would be appreciated.
Arash on March 19, 2008 7:04 PM
I Have it in my pocket Know !!I’ve buy it for my friend yesterday . I still have my 8Gb but I’m gonna upgrade !!
nywytboy68 on March 19, 2008 7:25 PM
@Arash – if this is available how about providing a link so that other people can get their hands on it? It would certainly cause a large number of us to cross on over to the Samsung Side (Luke,. your ADOPTED Luke – LOL)

nywytboy68 on March 20, 2008 10:12 AM

wu-tangsnow on March 20, 2008 9:55 PM
So If I bought it from Canada’s Bestbuy online(I’m From Minnesota) how much extra would I have to pay? Would I have to pay Canadian taxes? US Taxes?
Arash on March 21, 2008 5:49 PM
to “nywytboy68″ :Unfortunately , I’ve bought it in one of Samsung’s Gallery/Shop , so I have no Link for you

nywytboy68 on March 22, 2008 12:25 PM
@Arash – no problem. The comment was more to myself then anyone else and I’m sorry if you thought it was directed @you (I apologize)

pdiggitydogg on March 27, 2008 10:09 AM
Does anyone know the SKU for this model?
Lithium on March 27, 2008 8:38 PM
guys dont buy from bestbuy canada the 16 GB is a fake the did a typo on the title read the specs it says total memory 4 GB so dont get ripped off buying the 4gb from ebst buy canada!
nywytboy68 on March 29, 2008 2:14 PM
@Lithium – Bestbuy Ca. just never bothered to update the specs, they can’t sell you a 4gb for that price as they would be sued out the buns!!! Besides, if you live in the US just wait an let it come out here as the price (I hope ) should be a little lower making it a better prospect.
wu-tangsnow on April 4, 2008 1:36 PM
Geez, It’s taking a little while to get here, isn’t it?
