Digital camera war has started. Beginning with the first quarter, which could be said A match among the companies, every kind of digital cameras have been pouring into market. And the Korean leading company Samsung Digital Imaging Co., Ltd is introducing stylish and simple ST50.

World first ultra wide 24mm + Optical 10x zoom Schneider Lens

It’s not long time ago that this camera met digital technology and became a part of our lives. Samsung that is competing with Japanese companies is releasing the first digital camera in 2009 WB500 which has Dual IS, 24mm ultra wide angle lens, and HD camcorder function.

Most of the colors of multimedia devices are simple. Black, gray, or white are the majority of them, and most of the customers interested know that. Especially, in MP3 players now being considered an accessory, there was big competition in UI, convenience, and design, but makers didn’t have interests in the color of products.

After a long silence, Samsung has just started to show the lineup of the Yepp, and the YP-S3 following the YP-s@ is about to be released.

People say fashion comes periodically.  The fashion trend rebirthing with new materials and colors to find a contact between the generation accustomed to a trend icon and those who are not is coming with more various media and better transmission to us than in the past. What does the Samsung Yepp YP-S2 look like in 2008?

Samsung's new product YP-S2 appeared nearing the sale at the first half year.

YP-S2 has 13 hours playing time, and is fashionable, harmonious with other costumes, simple, and light.

Moreover, it will be on sale as 1 GB and 2 GB, so convenient and cheap for students and workers senstive to trends.
　

It supports the format MP3 and WMA, and music can be played in serial, random, or frequent order.A detailed review will be posted in the first half year.

Recently the Samsung Electronics YP-P2 revealed its second firmware upgrade. I know that there were both good and bad opinions on the first firmware upgrade, so this could be the case this time, too, but many things have changed.

The first thing to look at is hard to show through photos. It is the EmoTure UI change, which has been upgraded to the EmoTure UI 1.5.

Samsung Electronics does not appear to have any intention to win over users with just changes in icons or background screen. The EmoTure UI1.5, which is expected to be included in all touch products in the future, allows you to select and move through various options with the lightest touch, but unlike the Apple iPod touch, which makes orders by touching pop up menus, the Samsung touch is possible when the product is still functioning. However, it has not been fully adopted in the second upgrade. It can be used partially, when listening to music or looking at the text viewer or photos, and I think it is quite enjoyable to find out what has changed after the upgrade.

Portable digital devices are becoming the center of communication now. Communication between digital devices, which was only thought of as a dream before, is a lot like communication between people. They relay opinions, speak of dreams, talk of love, sing of it, and are happy and sad. The Samsung Electronics YP-S5 is a digital device that realizes the dreams we used to dream.

- Seo Taiji and his friends...

- It is trendy rap style dance music, and the rhythm is very good, while the melody line is quite weak. Since it is rap, it feels like the melody part is much weaker than other songs.

- When I listen to music, I have a habit of listening to the lyrics, and I hear two things first when I do. First, I hear if it makes sense and is made of proper sentences, and second, if it talks of something new. I would like it if the form and contents were both new.

- I liked it because they seemed keen. The funny thing is that the actions are very strong but the song is quite detailed, and perhaps because too much effort was put in the motions, there is a small part that makes me think the song was sort of buried in the motions. I have met a lot of audio type singers in the past. The New Kids on the Block came to Korea and tried to show us something good but something did not click and they failed, and I am talking to you today with hope that you will fulfill this gap.

- I met Seo Taiji in the past. I did not know the person who only did metal with a metal group called Sinawi was so young looking and beautiful, as he is now, cutting off his hair and showing his real face. It is a rap dance genre song, but has a little bit of metal tones. It is new and good, but we are not the ones who grade it, the viewers are.

Score: Average 7.8 (Highest possible: 10)
