Samsung Introduces Slimline 4GB MP3 Player
Thursday, January 5th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
LAS VEGAS -- This week at CES, Samsung has introduced a new digital media device that, while not looking like Apples iPod nano, is aimed at the same market. The YP-25 is a slimline 4GB flash memory-based MP3 player with a 1.8 inch color display, and Samsung claims it is the first device in the category to support Microsofts "Plays For Sure" music download and subscription platform.
Plays For Sure is based on the Windows Media file format, and is Microsofts answer to the dominance of Apples iTunes Music Store. Services using the technology offer downloads and subscriptions, and Samsung noted that the YP-25 can play downloads from MTVs Urge, Napster, Rhapsody, and Yahoo!.
It features a rechargeable battery with 24 hours of power. It supports MP3, WMA, WMA DRM10, and file formats, and can display JPEG images.
Samsung, which makes the flash memory used in Apples own iPod nano product, has managed to hit the same price points that Apple has with the nano, US$199 for a 2GB model, and $249 for the 4GB unit. The company has not yet added the product to its Web site, but Samsung said it will ship in February of 2006.
