Having a touchscreen doesn’t make you an Ipod Killer
Its funny to see how companies run against Apple’s monopoly in the personal media players (Ipod) and actually can be faster than apple:
Samsungs introduces it’s YP-P2 touchscreen player as a threat to the upcoming rumored touchscreen based IPod. So everything ok up to this point right? Wrong. The device is sexy, sleek, and looks incredible good but watch the video to see how crude the UI is! [link for the video]
Even worst : the bright, glowing thing on the botton is not a menu button. It’s just an indicator of something (maybe bluetooth on, battery is dying)
So this makes me wonder: if you are a big big company. You have the money to do great products (and you do actually) why such kind of mistakes leaves the company? Does any CEO or product manager tested this device, like this one and said ” Owo! that’s nice, this represents well what we are trying to do here” ? I don’t believe so. I really don’t believe so.
Please, give a little bit more love to the UI before releasing it. It saves you a lot of bad reviews and unsatisfied costumers.
That should be “its” instead of “it’s” (possessive “it” takes no apostrophe; “it’s” is a contraction of “it is.”)
