I have a new MP3 player on order - the new Samsung YP-P2, which is Samsung's version of the iPod touch.
Whilst I'm waiting for Amazon to get their stock in, I have been reading up on Samsung's schedule of firmware updates for the player.
Naively I have been thinking about firmware updates as being all about small technical fixes to a device's software: clearly I'm well off the pace.
The first firmware update in December will introduce mobile phone connectivity - which allows you to receive and make phone calls via a bluetooth hookup to your mobile. Then late January brings me the ability to record and playback FM radio. Finally, in March comes the 3rd Wave of Updates - which, as you can see from the flyer below, is "Beyond Imagination"... my Korean is not what it could be, but I think what this means is that they will implement the most requested features from the public.
User generated products - the next big thing?
