Samsung P3 is the best!

hmm... not bad, not bad at all

Ugh...what's with the massive screws in the back? Makes the unit very utilitarian like a tank.

uhhhh to change the battery?

HD on a 3.3" screen? Wait, it says downscaled, not HD resolution.
Probably not the same PQ and definitely not the same AQ, but I'm content watching SD movies on my $47 3.5" Curtis GPS, when I'm stuck somewhere.
HD Zune with wifi? hmmm.

Looks like the tri-wing screws that Nintendo uses on their hardware.

Anyway, can't wait for this thing to hit the shelves! Very interesting in picking one up.

uh....I'm pretty sure the description means it pushes out 720p onto your TV or monitor, like a portable HD player. Not watch it on the 3.3 screen...

Looks interesting, but with phones becoming multimedia devices as well (ie: Iphone vs Ipod Touch) products like this are seemingly falling short. The HD portion is interesting, but some phones are slowly slipping into that.

I really hope they make this open to developers like Apple has. If this is priced the same as the Touch (Which I assume it will) they will need it to stay even.
