Samsung YP-K3 review

Reviews Samsung's YP-K3 is an incredibly slim and stylish MP3 player, with a touch-sensitive interface and a seamless design. The 46mm (1.8-inch) 160x120-pixel colour OLED screen is nowhere near as sharp as Samsung's more recent YP-T9 model, but performs...

Samsung YP-T9 review

Samsung YP-K5 (2GB) review

Reviews Famous on account of a YouTube video, in which someone drives a truck over it, the Samsung YP-K5 (available in 1, 2 or 4GB -- we reviewed the 2GB version) is a surprisingly resilient flash-based MP3 player.

Samsung YP-U1 (2GB) review

Reviews The 2GB YP-U1, reviewed here, is a USB key-style player. DesignA bit bigger than a packet of chewing gum, the YP-U1 will tuck neatly into the small pocket on your jeans widely believed to be the traditional pouch for cigarette lighters.

Samsung YP-Z5 (2GB) review

Reviews FeaturesThe Samsung YP-Z5 will play MP3, WMA and secure WMA DRM audio files, so you can use subscription services like Napster To Go. But Samsung has unleashed the familiar battle cry with the YP-Z5 all the same.

Samsung YP-T8 review

Reviews The 1GB, flash-based Samsung YP-T8 can't boast the small dimensions of the 1GB Apple iPod Shuffle, but then the Shuffle is always mysterious in use, never giving away exactly what it's playing. In contrast, the YP-T8 features a 41mm inch) colour...

Samsung YP-P2 review

Reviews Samsung's new YP-P2 follows the South Korean manufacturer's excellent YP-T9, which scored 8.3 in our gruelling tests. Admit it: the YP-P2 looks a lot like the iPod touch. The YP-P2 plays just MP3 and WMA -- protected and unprotected.

Samsung YP-T10 review

Reviews The T10's predecessor, the YP-K3, was not geared up to play video. The YP-P2 is controlled with gesture-based touch and the new YP-T10 uses a purely touch-sensitive control pad. The T10 follows on from the success of both Samsung's popular YP-K3...

Best flash MP3 players

Reviews There's also no support for the open-source OGG music format.Samsung's YP-T9 is another video-playing flash player, but this certainly isn't its killer feature. So you've decided you want a skip-free, flash-based MP3 player instead of a hard disk...

MP3 players for snowboarding

Reviews Finally, those who like the idea of tainting the mountain's tranquil beauty with music should check out the Samsung YP-K5. So, you greasy little snowboarder, bain of the skier's life, but infinitely cooler, mainly because you don't have to wear a...

Best flash video players

Reviews Small, flash-based, video-playing devices are great for taking your favourite music videos and TV shows out and about, and they don't cost the earth. There are four key things to consider when you're buying one.First and foremost is battery life.

iRiver X20 review

Reviews The whole hand is needed to securely operate the player, unlike competitors such as the Samsung YP-K3 or the Sony NW-A808, which are easily held and controlled with fingertips. This is very quick and beats Samsung's competing YP-T9 by over 10 minutes.

JayBird JB-200 review

Reviews They can also be used as a typical hands-free setup with a mobile phone -- albeit through just the left earpiece -- and they play nice with MP3 players that offer built-in Bluetooth, such as Samsung's YP-P2.

Sony NW-A808 review

Reviews On looks alone, it's a worthy contender to Apple's iPod nano and Samsung's YP-K3. This isn't too bad when compared to the 26 minutes it took to transfer the same files to our Creative Zen V Plus, but is vastly more time consuming than the Samsung...
