With the large holiday season ahead, shoppers are looking for great buys and even better, quality built products. Since Apple released the iPod Touch, manufacturers have followed in their footsteps to create devices that will interest buyers, minus the monthly data costs.

Since the Apple’s release, companies have engulfed the MP3 player market as one of the most popular touch screen players. More notable in the android division lies Samsung, who is drastically changing the consumer playing field with such devices as the samsung Galaxy S2, and the highly anticipated Galaxy Nexus.

Let us venture into these new products so maybe you can buy your child, grandchildren, wife, or even yourself one of the best MP3 products for the holidays.

Samsung Galaxy 4.0

The name does say it all. This device packs a friendly 4.0 inch screen for easy viewing at a reasonable size, without the hassle. For software, it carries the familiar Android 2.3.5 along with Android Market.

With competitors such as the iPod Touch, the Galaxy 4.0 lists for a current deal price on Amazon, around $5 more, for a total of $189.00; list price of $229.00. However, for that price you get access to just about anything that’s on a regular Android Smartphone, just without the phone part.

In addition, there is instant access to a 8GB Micro SD Card which can be upgraded to a large 32GB card. You can find a spanking deal on the internet, especially with extended Cyber Monday deals for around $31.00 here, with an included reader.

For those picturesque moments, the Galaxy 4.0 carries a 3.2 MP camera in the rear, and a VGA front facing camera for video calls. With a 1200 mAh battery, it will last you about a day.

Wrapping it up, the phone is a great deal. It really brings something different for those who are looking for an affordable device, without any contracts or monthly fees.

Samsung Galaxy 5.0

This MP3 is quite a player indeed, with its massive screen size of 5.0 inches. If you like large devices but do not want a tablet size, the 5.0 is up your alley with a deal of $229.00 on Amazon.

Even though this is the same as the “list” price of the 4.0, you are still saving $40 when you decide to buy online. Included in the price, you get more of the same features as the 4.0, such as the 8GB card upgradable to 32GB, 3.2 MP camera on the rear, and VGA camera on the front, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi compatibility, and Android 2.3.5.

Even though the price on amazon seems well worth it, the list price will set you back around $270.00. A little far fetched for an inch larger? But, if you want to be the holiday gift giver that out beats the rest, go for it!
