Samsung has unveiled two PMPs that will be showcased at the CES this week. The IceTouch (YP-H1) is the world’s first PMP to sport a transparent display. IceTouch has a 2-inch color AMOLED screen that supports touch feedback. Samsung claims the screen has been created using a dual-injection molding process and tempered glass that results in a smooth and scratch-proof surface.
On the features front, the IceTouch comes with TouchWiz Sweep UI and support various multimedia formats including FLAC, MP3HD, DivX/Xvid, H.264 etc. IceTouch also has DNSe 3.0 and 5.1-channel sound enhancement technology.
For fitness freaks, Samsung’s got MyFit (YP-W1), a portable media player integrating wellness management tools. In addition to allow users to enjoy music, MyFit keeps a check on body fat levels, stress etc. with the help of accelerometer, fat and stress sensors. It also comes with two additional applications like water intake manager and smoking cessation utility.
Both the players will come in 8 and 16GB storage capacities and are expected to arrive in first half of this year.
I was looking around the photos of CES 2010, and those were one interesting players that I saw. Health program on mp3 player, and transparent screen… That’s one brilliant idea to invent! Hope the quality of players will get better as time goes by. Oh, and here’s the website that I saw the photos of those players, if you guys want to see it too. 🙂 http://www.flickr.com/photos/35920857@N07/4264635313/
