I admit to being fairly excited by the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone unveiled on Wednesday night here at CES. But now plenty of other manufacturers are getting in on the act of merging MP3 players and cameras. Samsung is showing off a shiny update to its YP-T8 multimedia gadget.
Samsung's YP-D1, which adds a 2-megapixel camera, comes in different flavors of color and memory (up to 2GB). It plays MPEG-4 video, holds JPEGs, and runs for 20 hours on its lithium-ion battery. There's no ship date on this puppy yet, but the 2GB version will likely run $299.
If that's too steep, you might consider the Polaroid iZone 550, a 5-megapixel camera in candy white that does AVI movies and carries 16MB of built-in storage (more with added SD cards). That's not much, but neither is the price, at $139.
Tell us: do you want to be able to snap photos and your fingers at the same time?
