Samsung goes on to say on their Yepp YH-999 site to talk about beeing the first to deliver a PMC device. Not sure what criteria they base that on, but iRiver also has a PMC Version of their Personal Video Player announced. The Samsung Video Player was first shown at the CES 2004 and is supposed to hit US stores in July.

In any case the YEPP YH-999 looks pretty good and features a 3.5" LCD screen, 20GB HD and USB 2.0. It measures 3.8"x4.2"x08" and weighs 7.9 ounces.
