Samsung goes see-through with IceTouch MP3 player N-Ice touch, Samsung

We’ve already seen a couple of crazy transparent mobiles over the past year, and now Samsung has joined in the see-through party with the IceTouch, a portable media player with a transparent AMOLED touchscreen.

The style-conscious IceTouch, or the YP-H1 to use its full name, has a 2in Active Matrix AMOLED touchscreen, and unlike similarly screened devices in the past, remains full colour and capable – Samsung claims – of DVD-quality video playback.

The candybar-style player comes with 16GB of storage on board, enough for thousands of your favourite tunes, and adds an FM radio to the mix should you get tired of your own playlists.

Samsung has also announced the more exercise-focused MyFit player, which uses its accelerometer to track calories burned during a workout, and also claims to measure stress, fat and calorie intake levels.

Both new players will be released sometime in the first half of 2010.

What's the point of having a see though screen? As far as I can see it wouldn't benefit the player at all.
