Yes, CES 2011 will be graced by the presence of Samsung's new 4-inch
Galaxy Player, but our pockets, it would seem, might have to wait for
it quite a bit longer. The Wall Street Journal today reports that,
while Samsung intends to roll out the new Android PMP in its home
market of Korea shortly after CES next week, the rest of the world is
unlikely to be able to buy it until "the April to June period." Aside
from its lack of phone functionality and a Super AMOLED panel, the new
Galaxy Player is an almost identical replica of the company's wildly
successful Galaxy S smartphone, which apparently has been no accident.
The WSJ also lets us in on the knowledge that Samsung's phone division
has taken over responsibility for building and selling its portable
media player range, hence why we're now seeing such major overlaps
between the two categories -- something that might very well continue
into the future.
