The haptic feedback adds little more than charm. A little vibration occurs every time you press an onscreen button. I suppose this is to alert you that you've successfully pressed it, but shouldn't you know you have because the screen changes? I think it was included for the same reason Sleep Cat was: It's kind of fun. The goofiest—and worst-named—use of the feedback is a feature called "VibeWoofer," which makes the player vibrate to the beat of whatever song you are listening to. (Insert dirty joke here.)
Samsung estimates the battery life for the P3 at an admirable 40 hours for audio and 6 hours for video. Our own battery-rundown test yielded 28 hours 27 minutes of audio—still respectable, but not quite 40 hours.
width="75%" height="75%">Samsung is one of my favorite PMP manufacturers because, like Apple, it sticks with the formula that works: Make a good-looking, simple user interface and wrap it in a case with a slick design. Although the nice looks remain, the new interface lacks the simplicity found in previous Samsung iterations like the YP-T10's, and the screen's sensitivity issues are annoying. Basically, Samsung is making the same mistake competitors like Cowon have made in trying to beat Apple by emulating its designs. But a touch screen alone isn't enough to make a device exciting, and although the P3 is generally solid, its flaws and omissions (no accelerometer, no Wi-Fi) make justifying its prices difficult for me. As it is, the Samsung P3 is somewhere between an iPod touch and an iPod nano in ability, but without the grace of either.
