DirWell have published a review of the Samsung YP-R1 MP3 player. 'In the YP-R1, there is a touch screen, and there is FM radio. The player itself seems a little inspired by the iPod Nano, they are mostly the same size, and they have similarly tough brushed metal sheen. There is a 2.7" display, which is larger, compared to the Nano's 2". You might be worried that this small screen might not function well as a touchscreen, but it does stay functional nonetheless. Maybe it's not as responsive as the screen from Apple, but it's resistive rather than capacitive. Also, the icons are very small - so you might just end up missing vital controls sometimes. But all said and done, you do get used to the screen, and when you do - it's easy to work on it.'
