Samsung To Reveal Their Galaxy PMP At CES 2011, Finally.

The first real iPod Touch rival will be at CES 2011 and Samsung has already confirmed it. This one should basically be the Galaxy S without phone functionalities. It'll be running Android and will reportedly be running Android 2.2 "Froyo" along with a 4-inch Super Clear LCD display because there's really no point of wasting Super AMOLED displays on this. It should also contain the company's own Hummingbird 1GHz CPU. On the back should be a 3.2MP camera along with a front-facing camera. It'll be shown off in the next week or so.
