People could have seen it at the Geek' Live in Paris: http://mp3.generationmp3.com/2008/10/25/ge...lein-de-photos/
But it seems that nobody asked for seeing it.
For the moment, only my contact at Samsung France and Greg (gmp3 admin) saw it in reality. As for me I have a picture and some infos (more later probably)
Of course I can't share the picture because the P3 will only be announced at the CES in january.
What I can tell you today:
Mp3 players and mobilephone division in Samsung Korea merged.
So the P3 looks like the latest Samsung mobile phones (player addict, player style etc...)
That means there is a beautiful haptic touchscreen. And the interface looks like on mobiles phones with widgets.... So more customization than on P2.
The P3 looks like more robust as it is built in aluminium
There is no wifi (but we don't care, it is an mp3 player, not a computer) but unfortunately there is also no SD slot.
Still bluetooth.
And a DTT (Digital terrestrial television) version should be released in France
i was hoping for external memory slot. Oh wells..xD
Thanks to bubblexpffe, Here are some pics
