When I was looking for a standalone Android-based pocketable device, I took many serious long looks at the Galaxy players, but couldn't justify spending the $190-$220 they still sell for new.
That's when I decided to buy a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket smartphone... new, no contract, for $220. Overall it is a much nicer device than the Galaxy players, IMO. Better camera, replaceable battery, nicer screen, faster processor. And when put in airplane-mode and judicious use of WiFi, battery life rivals my iPod Touch 4G.

I like the Amoled, but less pixels than the Galaxy Players.
Strange thing is the SG Player 5 has increased its price. There are fewer models on Amazon ----> only one, the latest, shows with a lower price, the 4.2 inch.
--->>> I feel that a SG Player revision is about to hit the market.
I sure hope so.
To sum it up, I want a iPod/iPhone screen on 4.75 or 5 inch Android device! Everything else is a wash.
I don't use a phone that much. A simple cheap feature phone is fine for me. When working or at a motel/hotel or at home, I use a net book or a desktop. It is when I pause on the road at a restaurant that I want a mobile Wi-Fi gadget in my pocket.
