As Christmas comes around, people start to look for the perfect gift for their friends and family. Mp3 players have become very popular today, and this gift idea article should give you some of the best choices of new Mp3 players to give your friends and family.

iPod Nano 5G

The iPod Nano 5G is the 5th generation of the iPod Nano family. This new iPod was recently released on the September of 2009. The new iPod has the same design as the 4th generation, except it comes with some brand new features that iPod fans just can't live without.

Video Camera

The new video camera is great for taking crystal clear 640 X 320 pixel videos for Youtube or posting on a blog

Live Pause and iTunes Tagging

Live Pause lets you pause, rewind and fast-forward the radio up to 15 minutes, and if you like a song you hear on the radio, use iTunes Tagging and the next time you plug in your iPod, iTunes asks you whether you would like to buy the song from the iTunes Store.

Voice Over

Just use the click wheel and your iPod Nano tells you what song and what artist you are listening to. You can customize the voice in iTunes.

Pedometer

With the new pedometer on the iPod Nano, you can now count your steps everyday, and when you plug it in your computer, the data is sent to Nike which records it. There are many step goals on the Nike website for you to complete for free.

Built in speaker and microphone

The new built in speaker lets you play your music out loud to the world and with the new microphone, you can record voice memos. All these features are wrapped up with a shining polished anodized aluminum finish in nine different vibrant colors.

Samsung P3

If you're not too fond of iPods (Gasp!), then consider the Samsung P3. The Samsung P3 has many features as well.

DIVX is the most popular format, it's also the easiest and fastest way to download movies and videos into your Samsung P3.

Touch

Like the iPod Touch or iPhone, the Samsung P3 is touch, except every time you click, drag or scroll, it gives a reassuring poke back.

Bluetooth

With the bluetooth service, there's no more need for unnecessary wires and messy cables to transfer music, videos etc.

Customization

With the Samsung P3, you can also customize your P3 the way you want it, drag your icons where you want them to be. There are 3 customizable desk screens you can use and a whole load of screen effects to use.

iPod Shuffle 3G
