Samsung YP-U1 MP3 Player

Samsung’s answer to Apple’s iPod Shuffle MP3 player gets a hands on testing at Samsung’s Christmas in July 2005 event.
The lucky guys over at engadget got to cop a feel of Samsungs latest flash-based MP3 player. The sights are clearly aimed at Apple’s iPod Shuffle and the pricing is set to match this.
YP-U1’s big selling point is its 128 x 64 pixel mini LCD (another nice feature is the built-in hinged USB plug, which means there’s no cap to lose). They’re going to selling the 512MB version for $99.99 (which is what Apple charges for the 512MB shuffle), with the 1GB version priced at $149.99.
