Samsung YP-R1 Portable Media Player Hits the FCC US Release Date Expected for Samsung's YP-R1 PMP

Back in June we got the story and one month later we learned that the
16GB version of the new Samsung YP-R1 PMP will be available in the UK.
Well, today, our North American buds should be happier to know that we
just found that the device has made its way to the FCC and we'll soon
see if it meets the criteria to be sold on the market.

Although not as appealing as its older brother, the Samsung YP-M1, the
YP-R1 is a touchscreen-based player that comes with a 2.7-inch display
(400 x 240 pixels), packs 8GB to 32GB of flash storage, touts built-in
Bluetooth connectivity, TV-out, major audio / video file support and
even a few games in case you're out there with nothing else to do.

It's pretty standard stuff that you pay some 110 GBP for in the UK
(which is some $180 at today's rate), if it clears the FCC, the new
Samsung YP-R1 should be priced close to that amount and should debut
just before the end of the year.
