Samsung M1 Media Player Confirmed, May Use Nvidia Tegra

Samsung Korea has teaser up for its YP-M1 media player (pictured to the right of the pink R1). Notably, the site mentions an Nvidia chipset…could it be Tegra? That would match recent reports, and make the M1 a worthy successor to the P3.

The M1 will feature a 3.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen using Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface, Divx video support, a built-in accelerometer and DMB TV (for Korea).

It could be too early to tell, but it’s looking like Samsung has shat the Wi-Fi bed again—one of our main gripes when we reviewed the P3. If the M1 does lack Wi-Fi, it could face an uphill battle against rivals like the Tegra-powered, Wi-Fi-equipped Microsoft Zune HD. [Samsung via DAP Review via Crave Asia]

We were pretty confident before, but now we’ve got it straight from the horse’s podcast: The Zune HD will indeed pack the Nvidia Tegra chip, which should give it better battery life and enviable video acceleration. [ZuneInsider]

Zune HD Packs Nvidia Tegra: Better Video and Better Battery Life

Dan Nosowitz — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 05:30:00 +0000

If you were wondering how the Zune HD could pack in such iPod touch-beating smoothness into such a small size, we might have an answer for you: It’s packing Nvidia’s teeny, high-performance Tegra processor.

As we explained in our Giz Explains: Low-Power Chipsets, Nvidia’s Tegra proc is designed to handle high-def video and Flash with buttery smoothness in small packages, just like the Zune HD. So while this is as yet still a rumour, given that we haven’t had confirmation from Microsoft, it makes a lot of sense and would actually be a very smart move—and the sources reporting the rumour seem very certain that it’s true. With a Tegra processor, the Zune HD would certainly be able to decode videos with far less necessary power than with any other chipset, which means better battery life combined with better video quality.
