 Many nice features, but not what I wanted. October 24, 2008

This MP3 player works very well. The buttons are a little too sensitive, but the menus and features are nicely arranged and easy to use. br / br /I chose this particular model because it had variable playback speed. Time is very precious to me in this crazy world, and I need to listen to audio books while I do other things. Gone are the days when I can sit down and read something. br / br /On my computer and my new DVD player I can play DVDs and up to twice the speed and still hear the audio. Unlike with analog technology, these two digital devices playback the audio with out ANY increase in pitch of the voice. In other words the actors don't sound like Minnie Mouse when they talk, they just sound like they are fast talkers. This is great for me because I don't get a lot of DVD viewing time either. br / br /I was expecting the same with this MP3 player, but it is not the case. For some reason when you speed up the audio on the S3 MP3 player the pitch gets higher, so I now have Minnie Mouse reading my audio book instead of a quicker narrator. br / br /This would be a great MP3 player if they could only change this one feature. I don't know why they have to let the pitch increase, perhaps it was at the behest of the music industry. If anyone knows of an MP3 that increases speed without increasing pitch please let me know. br /
 Definitely Great For The Price October 19, 2008

Really this product deserves about a 4.5 cause it is definitely worth the price. The Samsung S3 is so so cool in so many ways. I basically wanted to buy an ipod because I have an Apple computer. I am young but have never had or worked an mp3 player so I had no idea about any of this stuff. It sounds crazy that I'm so late but I am just now getting tired of rotating my hundreds of Cd's in and out of my old Sony Walkman. When I looked up the prices for the ipod's I let them go pretty quick. br / br /OK so on to the S3, this is very compact and fits well in your pocket. So if you're a girl with tight jeans, this is the MP3 for you because it is very slim. It holds about 1000 songs and one of the coolest features is that it comes with recordable FM radio. If you hear something on the radio that you want but don't want to pay for and download then just record it. Only problem with this feature is that the radio reception will not always be clear and clean. It also comes with a feature I didn't know about until I bought it, it has some cool games already inside it. br / br /The S3 also has amazing sound quality, these are great ear buds. I put my Sony headphones into it and they have nothing on those ear buds so be sure to take care of them. They have great bass and treble but they don't hurt your ears. It doesn't come with a wall charger which kind of sucks cause if you're somewhere and it dies then you are out of luck if you do not have your computer. You can charge it with the USB cord it comes with but unfortunately that can take a minute. br / br /Really that's the only problem I have with the S3. The battery power really isn't 25 hours worth but more like 8 to 9 hours maybe but definitely not 25 hours. The picture is amazing and the colors are bright and vibrant but the battery life is bad. For something that holds about 1000 songs, video, Fm radio, and games it is a pretty good price.
Impressive for the price! October 14, 2008

I bought my Samsung S3 today - in the short time that I've had it, I must say that I'm very pleased! The sound quality is great, and it is easy to use right out of the box. The features are great for the size of this player. My only complaint is that the software it came with is not licensed for use in the US! So I'll be using the easy drag and drop functionality. Overall, great little player!
