Samsung Q2 PMP with 50-hour Battery Life. Play on, Playa...

Samsung has quietly announced the YP-Q2 as the latest model of its popular Yepp media player series. The Q2 packs the all same features as the Samsung YP-Q1. Unlike the iPod nano, the DAP also plays WMA, OGG and FLAC audio file formats, pretty much all the usual suspects for audio playback with the exception of the its battery life. This latest model boasts an incredible 50 hours of audio playback time while retaining the super-model figure of the former model's 2.15 ounces. This should get you through an entire work week (including commute time) with your own personal soundtrack. If you do attempt a marathon playlist week, please remember 2 things: no headphones while you are driving and make sure to wash your ears nightly.

Video is also supported in its usual limited fashion. Microsoft flavored WMV's are playable on the its 240x320 display screen, but video playback will only survive 4 hours continuous between charges. Other features include voice recording and mobile games. Look for the Q2 to his stores in a few weeks in 8 and 16GB sizes in black and white. Best guess is that it will stay in the same $200 price range as the Q1.
