Samsung's iPod Touch Clone to Debut at CES 2011

At last, somebody, somewhere will sell a credible alternative to the iPod Touch.

Ever since September 2007, Apple has had the phone-less pocket computer market to itself. This is about to change, thanks to Samsung’s Galaxy Player, a non-cell version of its super-successful

Galaxy S.

Last year, Samsung got a rather crappier Galaxy-branded media player into European stores, but this one is the real deal. It sports a pair of cameras (3.2 megapixels on back, and a VGA webcam up front), Bluetooth, GPS, a microSD card slot, a 1-GHz processor and Android 2.2 Froyo.

The screen is four-inches diagonally, bigger than the Touch, but with a lower resolution of 800×480 (the Touch boasts a 960-by-640 “Retina” display). The Player is also thicker than the Touch – 9.9mm against 7.2mm – but this is likely how Samsung manages to fit in a better camera and a removable battery.

Pricing has yet to be revealed, but we know what sizes the player will come in: 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB. More to come from CES, which is less than two weeks away.
