I think I'm a little outdated on this one. While I was on my usual stroll for latest gadgets related news, I came across this pretty sweet-looking media player from Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy Player 50 is Samsung's Android equivalent of the iPod touch, which provides all the goodness of a smart phone without the palaver of a phone.

Then it occurred to me that this could very well be the first real competition we have seen yet for iPod Touch. Thus far, iPod Touch has been comfortably sitting in its own market niche since it was launched and had never seen a single competition to date. However, things are set to change with the arrival of Samsung Galaxy Player 50, which runs on Android 2.1 and packs in enough features to shame Apple's media-player.
The Samsung Galaxy Player 50 is designed with all the advanced features, which includes:
* Android 2.1 support
* 3.2-inch WQVGA LCD touchscreen with multitouch capability
* 2-Megapixel camera
* FM radio
* GPS
* WiFi
* DivX support
* Extra memory expansion slot for 8 GB or 16 GB microSD card
In addition to that, it also has access to more than 80,000 apps available on Android Market and Google services such as YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps and etc. Looks like Samsung Galaxy Player 50 gave a hard blow for the iPod Touch.
