Samsung's P2 near match for Apple iPod

OF ALL the iPod fighters, real or faux, that have come down the retail line recently, we finally may have found a contender for the MP3 throne.

This time it's Samsung, the Korean electronics giant, that's going where competitors such as Sony, Microsoft, Philips and a gaggle of others have gone before to tromp on Apple. And failed.

Samsung may not tromp Apple either, with the $200 P2 portable media player — the P2 mainly challenges the new Apple iPod touch, which holds 8 or 16 gigabytes, rather than the high-capacity classic iPod, with its 80 or 160 GB capacity. But it does trump Steve Jobs by adding an FM radio tuner and a Bluetooth module, which, in this case, allows (or will, as of December, with a firmware update) phone connectivity and wireless headphone and/or wireless speaker listening capability within a range of about 30 feet.

XM's shareholders were also voting later Tuesday on the deal.Sirius said in a statement that more than 96 percent of the shareholder votes cast approved the acquisition. The company said it still hopes to complete the deal by the end of the year.Shareholder advisory firms had endorsed the deal, which would save costs for both companies on acquiring subscribers, programming and broadcasting.The deal still faces close scrutiny by regulators in Washington, however, and some consumer groups have opposed the combination.The FCC had originally said the two satellite radio companies couldn't combine, but that rule can be changed.
