Samsung YP-25 MP3 Player

Samsung,the South Korean electronics giant, are ready to go head to head and compete with
Apple’s iPod in the MP3 Player market.

Samsung’s new flash memory MP3 player, called the YP-Z5, will be released first in the United States on the home turf of its rival. Europe will have to wait until late March and Asia until May to see the new contender for dominance of the lucrative MP3 market.

The YP-Z5, priced at 199 dollars to 249 dollars, is designed as a head-on challenger to Apple’s newest iPod nano, which costs 149 dollars to 249 dollars.

Samsung says price alone is not a decisive factor. Instead, the South Korean firm is playing up the capacity and user friendly aspects of the YP-Z5.
