right Yepp was Samsung Electronics' digital audio player brand until Samsung decided to retire most of their family brands in February 2011.〔(''YEPP is dead'' thread on anythingbutipod.com )〕 Since then, their MP3 players are simply branded "Samsung" worldwide. The brand includes a wide range of hard-drive based as well as flash-memory based players. The name is claimed to be an acronym for "young, energetic, passionate person". ==History== The Yepp brand was first introduced at CES 1999 in Las Vegas where the first Samsung mp3 players have been unveiled (YP-E, YP-B and YP-D series). Samsung MP3 players were branded "Yepp" worldwide until 2003. From then Samsung only kept this brand for the Korean market while the players sold in the rest of the world were simply branded "Samsung". Samsung finally dropped the Yepp brand in Korea too since 2011. Even though it has disappeared for 10 years in Europe and America, it is still common among the users to refer to the Samsung MP3 players as "Yepp". As of November 2013, Samsung discontinued their MP3 players line in most countries. Only the YP-W1 and YP-U7 are still available in some countries. The Galaxy Players series has also been discontinued in most countries. Samsung released the successor to the YP-GI1, the YP-GI2 (Galaxy Player 070) only in Korea in August 2013. Samsung shut down all official MP3 players dedicated websites and blogs in Korea and worldwide.〔The (official webshop ) is down as well as (Samsung UCI Studio ). The (official blog ) is close.〕 Therefore, even though Samsung did not announce officially they would stop producing MP3 players, it looks like they already did or soon will. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samsung YEPP」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
