Samsung's YP-K5 is generally a well-received MP3 player, thanks to its 'top notch' hardware and 'better-than-expected' built-in speakers. Though, you have to live with its bulky size, limited speakers' use and its lack of video playback capability. Samsung comes up with YP-S5 this time around; the refreshed DAP is basically a slimmed-down version of the K5 with some new tricks. While the S5 retains the slide-out 1500mW stereo speakers, its thickness is now 14.95mm, 17% thinner than its predecessor. Samsung also puts back TFT LCD to improve readability under sunlight, and adds MPEG-4 video player. The most notable addition is Bluetooth A2DP support, allowing S5 to double as a wireless speakerphone or speakers for compatible devices, such as cellphones. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't a larger capacity version other than 4GB for the new dual-use DAP. Samsung S5 (4GB, black)
