It seems that all the buzz going about today is all hovering around the Samsung YP-K5 digital audio player, and for good reason. Samsungs newest addition to the world of dap's will come out in the US on September 10th and be available in 1gb, 2gb and 4gb models. It appears that this device is rather bulky in size but it has an excuse for such bulkyness. Hidden on the backside of the player is a pair of sliding speakers that instantly convert your personal player into a miniature boombox of sorts. All of the buttons on this device are touch sensitive and appear non existent when the unit is turned off. This device will display pictures just like the iPod and will also do slideshows to your favorite music, to add to the fun you can use the YP-K5 as your morning wake up in the form of an alarm clock. The device houses USB 2 for data transfer and will support mp3,wma,ogg,asf and jpg. Overall it has a beautiful design and certainly looks like a great iPod alternative, that is unless you have an entire library of music in aac format. Pricing for the player will be $210 for the 2gb, and $260 for the 4gb(no announcement on the 1gb model).

samsung, mobile, flash, camera
...
With the speed at which mobile phone technology is advancing these days it was only a matter of minutes before someone took the "Music Phone" to the next level. Samsung is the company to do so with the brand new model, SCH-B570, sporting an absolutely amazing 8gb of flash memory. In case you were thinking that 8gb of music still wasn't enough for your likes they have added a MicroSD expansion slot. What makes this mobile even more amazing is that they put it in such a sleek looking figure and then managed to still fit a 2 megapixel camera inside and apparently an S-DMB receiver to recieves korean broadcasts and bluetooth. This should be pretty a pretty spectacular handset, I do find it interesting that they decided to use Windows Mobile 5 for the OS though. If you live in Korea you can expect to see this handset on the shelves shortly but if you are a Samsung employee in Korea then you have been banned from using this mobile, apparently Samsung views this phone as a security risk for their employees to use.

samsung, cell, mobile, hd
Samsung is pulling out all the stops on it's revamped i300 mobile phone, the i300x. They have slapped a 4gb hd in the phone for more than enough storage space for all of your favorite tunes. This phone could be seen as a direct competitor for Sony's walkman line of mobile of phones. The i300x sports all the features you could ever want in a phone, lots of storage space, micro sd card slot, bluetooth, a decent camera at 1.3mp(why not 2mp?), and support for all major standard media formats for music and video. The 2 things I don't understand are, why not quad band instead of tri-band? and why in a world of absolutely incredible symbiam OS devices has Samsung chose to put Windows Mobile on this phone? I would go as far as calling this the perfect candy bar style phone if they used symbiam or a propietary OS and Quad Band. Still this phone is very attractive and is about as much as anyone could need in a phone.
