 Samsung's new YP-S2 player is simple, small and cheap, just like it should be. The player was very cool looking, and light enough in the hand that it could practically dangle off the headphone cord without slipping free. It's a great design effort, and anyone in the market for an iPod shuffle would probably do just as well looking at this device, as each are appropriately simple and lack a screen or advanced features. Of course, lanyard accessories and a mix of colors are sure to follow. Release: June 2008. Price: $40.
Pros: Very small and light. Cool, shiny design. Only $40 for a 1GB player, which isn't bad.
Cons: No screen or advanced features. Doesn't do much to trump the iPod shuffle, beyond price and design.
