You'll also enjoy a built-in FM radio and recorder, photo viewer, voice recorder, flash games, and more.  One of the slimmest, lightest, and coolest looking media players on the market. |  Enjoy your video content on a brilliant 2.4-inch LCD screen. Click to enlarge. |  The Q1 features intuitive and attractive navigation. |  Weighing it at just 2.15 ounces, the Q1 is less than a half-inch deep. Click to enlarge. | 2.4-inch LCD
The Q1's 2.4-inch QVGA TFT LCD screen gives you brilliant video, with a resolution of 320x240 pixels and a frame rate of 30 fps. You also can adjust the screen's brightness to your liking, or to preserve a little bit of precious battery life. Touchpad Control
The Q1's lighted touchpad--which is great to look at--makes navigation a snap. Screensavers on the Q1 are even extended from the screen to the touchpad for an extra visual treat. Video Playback
Enjoy MPEG4, WMV and SVI video files on the go with your Q1. The included software will transcode other video formats on the computer before transferring to the device, so videos on the Q1 play at the optimal frame size/rate with minimal effort from the user. Music Playback
The Q1 plays MP3 and WMA audio formats. As you probably know, MP3 files are the most common music format available today. WMA uses a high-quality compression technology so users can have smaller files that sound in near CD quality. The Q1 also works with subscription content from Rhapsody, Napster, and Yahoo!, giving you access to millions of songs for your enjoyment. Photo Playback
Add your favorite JPEG, BMP, GIF, or PNG images to the Q1 for viewing any time. Images can be zoomed and re-centered, and also can be used as wallpaper, so you can customize and make the Q1 yours. For sharing with friends, use the slideshow function, including six transition effects. FM Tuner
The Q1 boasts a built-in FM tuner with 30 presets and the ability to make FM recordings. Using Auto preset mode, the tuner will scan the entire FM range in less than 60 seconds, automatically placing the available FM stations into presets. To eliminate stations with marginal reception, users can adjust the sensitivity to only preset stations with strong reception. DNSe 3.0
Samsung's DNSe engine produces higher quality sound with more natural effects than conventional methods by reproducing the "genuine" stereo sound intended by the music content creators. It achieves this by overcoming the limitations from earphones and less-than-ideal speakers to offer realistic stereo and deep bass sounds. DNSe 3.0 takes this to a new level. Text to Speech Conversion
You can convert text files to audio files. This feature is free of charge on EmoDio. Flash Games
Want to have a little fun? Enjoy BombBomb, BubbleSmile, and ChickenRunway, the included Flash games on the Q1. What's in the Box
Samsung Q1 16 GB Video MP3 Player with Lighted Touchpad (Black), earphones, USB cable, installation CD.

I've bought and tried 3 different portable media players and 2 of them just sucked balls, but this one is just beautiful!
Now Unless all of your video files are in wmv format you'll need to convert them, but unfortunately Samsung file converter doesn't work. No biggy though Just go and download "Any Video Converter" guess what it do.. right.
This portable media player plays movies beautifully. It plays music beautifully as well.
Oh and don't get me wrong Samsung other software found on disk that came with their media player works great!
For example You can change pretty much everything on this media player Just look at the default picture here. It' kind of a ugly user interface screen right? Well you don't have to be stuck with it. You can personalize it to the extreme! Or pick a style of your liking. There's over 240 of them to choose from.
16 GB portable media player and it's under $120 dollars.
What are you waiting for?
BUY IT!

I really like this player. For its price it has all I need: audio, radio and video, and the quality of each of them is great. I would recommend everyone on budget to consider this player.
The controls might be hard to some to use. I misclick sometimes too but it is not too bad. Instead I miss the chance to FEEL the buttons so that I could operate the player in my pocket. In this case it is very hard since I can't feel the buttons but instead the buttons are extremely sensitive so I might just end up messing my player up.
I have 8 Gb player and have found that is large enough for my need. The downside is that if you have dozens of different artists it takes some time to find the correct tracks using whichever search function if you don't do some tricks beforehand. E.g. you could arrange the music in hierarchical folders (folders inside a folder) so you can find whichever artist with several clicks.
Battery life is a small disappointment. If you plan to switch tracks often you might have to turn the screen brightness and on-time to the smallest settings which makes using the player difficult outdoors. I haven't checked how long the battery lasts in my normal use but my wild guess would be 10 hours or a bit more if I keep changing tracks now and then. However, I have NO experience with other large screen players so I have no clue if I am complaining of anything serious.
5 stars for satisfaction(quality)/price,
-1 star for the controls (I personally don't care too much)
Beautiful device, amazing sound quality April 24, 2009

The navigation buttons (tap pad) on this player are very nice with a cool blue glow. The screen is bigger than expected, especially nice to watch videos.FM Radio, photo viewer, games.... it has a lot of functionality but so does everyone.
But the most amazing thing on the Q1 is that it simply is the best sounding player I have ever heard. Samsung has been developing this DNSe sound system for a few years now and this is the first one of their players with version 3 of that sound engine.
It makes all these 128 kbps encoded MP3 files sound truly amazing. If you really love listening to digital music on a portable player, you have to try your MP3 collection on the Q1. This blows away everyone else, especially iPod.
Great Sound / Great Price / Good Navigation March 14, 2009

Firstly, let me say that one's inability to use a touch pad navigation should not factor into how good a player is. Basically, if you know how to send a text message (something I have never done), you can navigate this player! Complaining about a player you bought KNOWING had a touch pad navigation, is like complaining about the finger prints on a touch screen player. I just do not get it.
Now, the sound is great! There are many pre-determined audio enhancements you can select, or you can create your own. You can save up to 3 user defined audio settings. You can create playlists (5 of them) and delete songs on the fly. It has both a radio and datacasts. The pictures and videos are vibrant and you can easily set one of your photos as your background as well as change the text font. There is a text to speech function as well as subway maps of major cities with places of interests highlighted as well as a little information about them. Navigation is fairly easy, yes the touch pad might take some getting used to, but it just requires patience. The UI is intuitive and all that you want is just a slight tap/hold/swipe away.
If you have ever listened to the P2 and loved it, well just know that the sound quality on the Q1 is just as good, some prof. reviews say it is even better. I was looking to purchase a 16gb refurbished P2 from Eoutletcadada, but they were out and I saw this player for much less, did some research on it and did not hesitate to order it. I paid under $80 including shipping.
There are great demo videos on Youtube. There is someone there who has a 3 part demo and because of watching that, I have had no need to look at an instruction manual nor have I bothered installing the Emodio software. The player is pretty straight forward! The Q1 has all of the functions of Samsung's highly rated P2 except a touch screen and bluetooth. Also, instead of a 3 inch screen, it has a 2.4 in screen making it more portable.
I own several inexpensive Chinese players that have wonderful sound (check Meizu), but do not have the sophisticated UI's and "extras" like embedded art work and resume play on videos, etc. They do tend to be much more customizable, play many more video and audio formats than big name brands, have expandable memory, and sound just as good or even better than the big name players.
Low prices and great sound/video have steered me to those players, but so long as I can get reliable refurbished Samsung players for the same price, I will opt for their conveniences and bells ans whistles. Having navigated the Meizu, which has a similar navigation system, made it easy for me to become accustomed to the Q1 in a matter of minutes. A HINT, do not press the navigational pad hard. I find it is much more accurate when I barely tap it, pretty much I use a quick, gentle swiping motion.
If you want a great player with superb sound, great video, great album art (except when displayed in the larger size), you like the P2 (but don't need all of the aforementioned extras), give the Q1 a look. You will not be disappointed. Look into eoutletcanada if you do nt mind buying refurbished. I have purchased two of these and they came in perfect condition. Get your own earphones though. Do not let the proprietray connectors scare you away from this. I got extra USB chargers: wall, comp., and car from Ebay for about $10.00 delivered.
