Samsung YP-K5 (1GB)

By (cnet.com)

The Samsung YP-K5 features a unique and stylish design with a built-in, slide-out speaker, and the interface is stunning ; includes an FM radio and cool visual effects. The player offers excellent sound quality, and the included earbuds are decent

Due to the speaker, the YP-K5 is on the large and heavy side for a flash player ; the touch controls take some getting used to and attract smudges ; display could be bigger ; expensive

The Samsung YP-K5 is a unique MP3 player with a fun interface and great sound quality; it may be bulky around the middle, but it's an excellent choice if you want to share your tunes at the drop of a dime.

Cool looking design, nice quality sound from speakers

Manufacturer's Description

Samsung Electronics throws down the portable digital audio gauntlet - the K5 Digital Audio Player: a flash-memory based MP3 player with ground breaking built-in slide-out speakers, OLED LCD display, and a sleek one-button design.
