Unfortunately the Samsung Galaxy S Wifi (aka "Samsung Galaxy Player")
line has been discontinued.

My personal recommendation, if you want something like the Samsung
Galaxy Player - where you can not only play music but also watch movies
(believe it or not, this is the only way I watch movies these days...),
play games, surf the web via Wifi and have full GPS capabilities - then
you should just buy a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. It's down to only $223 in
Amazon right now.

Yes, it is a phone, which you don't need, but the premium isn't high
(the phone-less Galaxy Player was selling for $170 when it was still
available) and maybe one day you'll decide to stick a SIM in it :-)

You can get even cheaper devices if you want a tiny screen, or older
devices, but I don't suggest either. Older devices also means old,
outdated, versions of Android, that you'll need to become a hacker
to update. Tiny devices will not be fun to watch movies or play games
on. There are also other devices from many other manufacturers,
not just Samsung.
