A review of the Samsung YP-R1 8GB touchscreen media player has been posted over at TrustedReviews.com. 'The centrepiece of the YP-R1 is, of course, its 2.6in, 400 x 240 pixel touch-sensitive display (yes I know that SamsungConnect lists it as 2.7in, but we didn't have a review unit to confirm with when we published the competition). As you might imagine, putting the player's controls on-screen frees up physical space, such that at 85 x 45.5 x 8.9mm the YP-R1 is barely any bigger than a Sony E Series Walkman, despite having a notably larger display (with a more useful aspect ratio to boot). The brushed metal finish, looks just as good, in an understated way, in black or silver and makes the price tag seem entirely justified; in the hand the YP-R1 really does feel like a quality piece of equipment.'
