    Pros: Bigger screen, replaceable battery,(in the GP4) expandable memory,(up to 32G) and better camera than the itouch

    Cons: Itouch has a slightly better screen (though the difference is very small), at least to my eyes. Itouch shoots 1080p video, GP4 shoots 720p.

    Summary: I'm greatly disappointed with this review. I purchased the Galaxy Player 4 about a month ago and i Love it! I'm a 45 year old father of 2 who was in need of a new mp3 player(I had a old Sansa Fuze). When it started to show some wear and tear I decided to look for a new player. Both my kids own itouch 4g's so my first instinct was to get an itouch too. Then I saw the SGP 4 online and thought I would check it out. After comparing the specs of the SGP 4 and the itouch 5G it was obvious to me that the Galaxy Player was at least on par, if not better(in some areas) to the itouch. The tipping points for me at least were the expandable memory, better rear camera, replaceable battery (on the 4 inch version) and bigger screen. Reviewers keep comparing this device to phones and tablets and I just don't get it. This device is a mp3/media player, NOT a phone or tablet!! As a mp3/media player this device is GREAT! Streams video like a champ,and after a trip to the andriod market the music player beats my kids itouch hands down.(Power Amp app) Mr.Bell, I just don't think you gave this player a fair review, so I felt compelled to respond with my own comments. Anyone looking for a mp3/pmp should check this device out. Compare it to a similar device (i/e the itouch, NOT a phone or tablet) and make your own decision about what is right for YOU. I did and I'm very happy with the choice I made. I should also mention that after seeing this device my 15 year old son now wants one too!! He's lucky Christmas is near.:-)

    Actually, the iPod Touch also shoots at most 720p.
