The YP-Z5 will be available in both 2GB and 4GB capacities, and will feature a 1.8" LCD display, MP3 and WMA audio playback, JPEG photo viewing, DNSe Digital Natural Sound Engine 3D audio processing, and a 38-hour Li-ion battery. The YP-Z5 is expected to launch in the first half of 2006."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/yp-z5_03.jpg" /><br /><br />That is one sexy looking model. And the Flash player doesn't look too bad either. :wink: <br /><br />My only disappointment is that it doesn't offer more storage capacity. I would prefer it be hard drive based instead of flash memory, but Samsung is clearly targeting the nano market with this product. I think it will do well if priced right. With Samsung nipping at nano's heals, and Creative gunning for the 30GB iPod, 2006 may be a tougher year for Apple.
