SAMSUNG R1 : Samsung lance un nouveau PMP, le R1

Voici le R1, le dernier petit DAP de Samsung. Affichant sur la balance un poids de seulement 50g, notre petit R1 est en fait un PMP bien fourni, puisqu'il embarque un écran tactile de 2.6'', une interface graphique TouchWize, un accès facile à vos tous vos médias, le système de Drag & Drop ou Glisser - Déposer, 8 ou 16Go de mémoire interne.
Enfin selon le constructeur Coréen, le R1 d'une épaisseur de 8.9mm, serait le premier lecteur MP3 à être certifié DivX.



Seoul August 31, 2009 -- Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd today announced the launch of new portable multimedia player – the R1. The Samsung beat player R1 is the slimmest and lightest multimedia player compatible with DivX, enabling users to play content without the need to convert files.

The Samsung R1’s mere 8.9mm thickness and 50g weight is slight enough to enable users to put the device in their wallets, without compromising on user-friendliness, durability and performance. It is also the world’s first DivX-certificated MP3 player with a dynamic, 2.6-inch touch screen.

The R1 incorporates the TouchWiz user interface, the popular UI from Samsung full touch screen mobiles. Easy “Drag and Drop” operations give users the freedom to enjoy audio/video libraries anywhere, anytime. Samsung’s DNSe 3.0 (Digital Natural Sound Engine) also ensures the highest possible sound quality.

Samsung’s new multimedia player also comes with a “Beat DJ” feature, which allows users to add their own voice and sound effects to their favorite songs. With this unique application, users can also ‘scratch’ records on the super-clear 2.6” display to create personalized music.

“Samsung’s R1 beat player provides a rich multimedia experience for users who prefer a small form factor but don’t want to sacrifice quality,” said Joo Ho Song, Vice President, Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. “Samsung is committed to launching additional multimedia players with advanced features and designs.”

The R1 will be available with a choice of 8GB or 16GB of memory. The player will be showcased at the IFA trade show in Berlin from September 4thto 9th. The R1 will be available in Europe in September, with other markets including Russia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan to follow.
