 The Samsung YP-K5 certainly tries to stand out from the crowd with its unique, slide-out speakers. We suppose this player is targeting a niche crowd, looking for a portable party (and something to wake them up the next morning), and for that crowd we can easily recommend it. The device's sound was very good, as long as we used our own headphones. Battery life, too, exceeded our expectations. Still, the lousy music transfer software will keep computer noobs away, and the lagging menus, which aren't nearly as responsive and quick as the iPod's, will make Apple fanatics think twice. Samsung deserves applause for being different, as long as different is what you're looking for. Release: August 2006. Price: $170.
Pros: Great sound. Reliable, easy-to-use alarm clock. Interesting, unique design replaces the need for tiny, external speakers.
Cons: Lousy transfer software. Uncomfortable headphones. Screen is a bit washed-out. A bit bulky for a portable device.
