The New Media Player Award
Manufacturer's Description
The Samsung YH-999GS portable media device is a revolutionary handheld entertainment player that makes it easy to store and play recorded TV shows, movies, home videos, music, and photos transferred from a Windows XP-equipped PC. Built on a Microsoft platform, the YH-999GS supports WMV, WMA, MP3, and JPEG formats and is compatible with MPEG2, MS-DVR (Media Center TV files), ASF, AVI, WAV, and MIDI files. As a result, the pocket-sized powerhouse takes convergence to a new level, letting you watch and listen to your favorite entertainment anytime, anywhere, whether at the grocery store, at home, or on a plane.
The unit includes a generously sized 20 GB hard drive that stores up to 80 hours of video, 5,000 songs, or tens of thousands of pictures. More significantly, once you've transferred video from your PC to the YH-999GS, you can watch the footage on either the 3.5-inch LCD screen or through a large-screen TV via the A/V output. Want to watch your favorite travel videos at a friend's house without burning them to DVD? Look no further than the YH-999GS. Plus, as with any good portable media player, the unit comes with both a pair of stereo earphones and a convenient carrying case.
It's also quick and easy to sync your music, video, and images between your PC and the YH-999GS using Windows Media Player 10. Simply plug the YH-999GS into the PC's USB port (the unit supports high-speed USB 2.0) and you're set. Note that the device requires a Pentium 133 MHz or faster processor with 50 MB of available hard disk space.
Finally, the device comes includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that runs for up to 12 hours of audio and three hours of video playback. All this in a remarkably compact housing that measures a mere 3.82 by 4.21 by 0.83 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7.96 ounces. As with all Samsung portable media players, the YH-999GS carries a 90-day manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.
