I wrote a small <a href="http://www.chaosbits.net/Articles/2009/Samsung-YP-P2-UMS-Guide/" title="Simple guide to making the Samsung YP-P2 player usable in Linux as a UMS device." rel="nofollow">guide on how to change the YP-P2 to UMS</a> and thought you might want to see it. Nice player and after a firmware update and change to UMS it works perfectly with Linux :-) Hi,

We all have our own preferences, and they each have their pros and cons. I would say the Touch and the P2 are pretty equal players, the choice is simple... if you are a mac user, buy the touch. If you are a PC user, buy the P2. No harm, no foul. :) The software that comes with the P2 will automatically convert video files when you upload them, but I’m guessing that since you are a mac user, the software is not compatible.

Also, I agree with the H264 not being natively enabled. Such a pain to have to reconvert videos :( Finally, videos that are converted show some lag on the screen. Rapid scene changes often "flicker" briefly, something that's quite annoying when watching a movie and something I don't see on my ipod touch. It's a nice device for music (and now Apple are selling non-DRM AAC files) that part works great. Just the video part could be a LOT better if only they'd upgrade the software... please!!!
