Sorry for the confusion. I meant at the time the Galaxy Players were introduced.

The Galaxy Player 4 was released to compete with the 4th gen iPod Touch. They're pretty evenly matched performance/hardware- and price-wise. The primary advantage of the Galaxy are the microSD slot and camera. The iPod Touch still wins in terms of pixel density, though.

Pixel density (326ppi vs 233ppi) was the only spec the iPt4 beat the SGP4 on. Even so, it isn't noticeable to me for most uses. Outside of that, the SGP4 is faster, has more RAM and a better camera. It also has features lacking in the iPt4: GPS, compass, FM radio, and mSD. The one major advantage the iPod has over the Galaxy is OS upgrades. My iPt4 is running the most current version of iOS, while my SGP4 is five upgrades behind. That's extremely pathetic.
Because Apple and Samsung both skimp on the specs and features of their media players, I'm ready to move on. As soon as Google doubles the storage of their Nexus phone, I'll consider getting one to replace my SGP4. At this point in time, I want my portable internet devices (4"~7") to have the latest OS; and that means Nexus.
