If you’re a fan of Apple or the iPod, you’ll want to check out the new Samsung YP-T10 and YP-P2 mp3 players at the Crave blog. In particular, watch the YouTube video of the touchscreen interface at the end.

I know that that Apple has yet to release their next-gen iPods, so I’m not saying Apple is in any kind of trouble. But it's nice to see a trailing pack forming behind the Apple's touch screen technology. Like they say in Alaska, unless you're the lead dog, then you're just looking at another dog's ass. The Samsung's touch screen software looks competent, and not at all like the Nokia iPhone clone bullshit demo. We've known all along the iPod's success is about the total package, hardware and software. So, lacking a slick content manager like iTunes, Samsung is still way behind the lead dog. It will still be the combination of iTunes and the iPod that delivers the killer blow to all competition.
