While Apple and its iPod are dominating the market of MP3 players, competitors offer new product which seem interesting. It is the case of the Samsung YP-K5 which propose between 1, 2 or 4 GB for MP3/WMA/OGG, tuner FM, JPEG with sensitive keys and 2×2W loudspeakers, for an autonomy of 30 hours in Walkman, and 6 hours with the loudspeakers.

It recharges thanks to a USB cable, and works with a Samsung Media Center to manage his music. The sound spited out by the loudspeakers is almost equivalent of laptop sound and it is as big as an iPod. It’s also possible to choose is own music for the wake up alarm.

But the YP-K5 is not compatible with a Mac even it can be recharge by a Mac with USB.
