At that price though, I might want to lean towards an iPod Touch for a bit more. Nice review Doug. At that price though, I might want to lean towards an iPod Touch for a bit more.

The uPnP capabilities of USB would mean the end of 'pairing' and 'connecting' and 'keys' and 'profiles'. When in range, it works. That simple. Just how it should be.

IK have been eager to review that Samsung for quite some time. I just love the looks of the interface. Though including BT with no wireless headphones. That just sounds mean. I have also been Keen on testing those Keer headphones. Hopefully that may be coming soon as I have been in touch with them, but we'll see what happens. Doug Thanks, Chris.

We reviewed Samsung's YP-T9 last year, which has Bluetooth but didn't include wireless headphones (which I gave them a mild kicking for). http://www.slashgear.com/slashgear-review-samsungs-bluetooth-enabled-yp-t9-pmp-295475.php Nice review, Doug, and I agree that wireless is the way forward (I’m really keen to try out those headphones that use Kleer technology: apparently the quality is far higher than A2DP Bluetooth).

Kenneth, you're right a PDA with Bluetooth is also a good option. To be honest, I go back and forth between using a seperate player and my Mogul. The biggest problem I have is that BT just kills the battery on my Mogul. You are also right that this is not the first player with BT. In fact, as far as I know, it is the third. Best Buy's Insignia brand has BT as does Samsung. I have been trying to get a Samsung to review, but not having much luck. Doug Thank guys.

That being said, I strongly agree that BT is THE technology that should have been part of mp3 player specs for a very long time. That being said, with 8gb of MicroSD love on my PDAs (Tytn II and Advantage), I hardly have any use for my mp3 players any more, as I always carry one of my PDAs, and couple that with some decent earbuds and a 'clip' style bluetooth dongle and I really can't justify the price of, say, this Sony. Sure the Sony is more intuitive, probably has a better screen (disregarding the VGA on the Advantage for a moment) and is easier to use but in all eventuality, once I'm used to the various media players on my PDA and after assigning a few shortcuts, it seems like the PDA + BT route seems like a much better bang per buck option.
