Samsung has updated and extended the capabilities of its P3 portable multimedia player (PMP). The P3 has now the “ability to play native resolution 800 x 600 video” according to an Engadget post. I wonder what that’s all about since the P3 has a 3″ LCD with a pixel format of 480 x 272. Who encodes video in 800 x 600? I can understand 800 x 480 or for viewing on netbooks a pixel format of 1024 x 600. But 800 x 600? Weird. Not weird is the added memo program that lets you … draw your notes. Pretty nifty I would say. Performance has been improved by 30% according to Samsung. The P3 is a very thin and sexy PMP and with the added improvements should be able to compete with the best of them.
