Samsung YP-S5JAB 4 GB Black Reviews From zdnet

The good: The Samsung S5 offers excellent sound quality and plenty of desirable features such as built-in Bluetooth, photo and video support, an FM radio, a voice recorder, and an alarm clock. The design is cool with a fun flip-out speaker for sharing tunes. The player comes with a pair of earbuds that fit comfortably and securely in the ear.

The bad: The Samsung S5 has a small screen and a proprietary USB connection, and it’s pricier than most other flash MP3 players. The lack of tactile controls may turn off some users, and there are no dedicated volume buttons. Videos must be in Samsung’s proprietary format.

The bottom line: The Samsung S5 is an MP3 player with a fun interface and excellent sound quality; the screen is a bit small, but this player is still a great choice if you want to share your tunes at the drop of a dime.
