Watch out for idiots calling it the iPhone in hopes of a big payout from the Apple corporation. Because you know the iPhone does Everthing the Galaxy player does... (sarcasm)

I mean if Apple hits one Korean company why not another, right?

With HD being the norm, this seems a bit off.

Hrm...I've been looking for something like this. This is more of a competitor for the iPod Touch. The reso on the iPod is still 960x640. I hope Samsung bumps it up to at least be the resolution of the iPod in the final product. I'd have gotten an iPod Touch long ago if I didn't have to sync it with iTunes (of course...my position on that changed to "will never buy regardless" after the lawsuit).

I'd also be very interested if it had a mini-hdmi out and a USB host adapter. Would possibly be useful as a mini-computer. The mini-HDMI out could also possibly display 1080p videos on a TV (like my cheap Chinese Android tablet does...even though the screen is only 800x600 or so).
