<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.i4u.com/article1826.html' target='_blank'>http://www.i4u.com/article1826.html</a><br /><br /></div><i>"Samsung is supposed to update their World's Smallest MP3 Player YP-T5 with the new model YP-ST5. The Samsung YP-ST5 has increased battery power. The new world's smallest MP3 Player can play for 20 hours. The YP-T5 only supports 8 hours of play time. The YP-ST5 features USB 2.0. In August a Firmware update should enable the YP-ST5 to support OGG."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/samsungst-5.jpg" /><br /><br />The Samsung YP-T5 currently sells for about $129 which isn't a bad price for 256MB. It is definitely a sweet looking player and the size is definitely a major convenience and probably consequently a selling factor. However, and the original article agrees with me, there are definitely players out there that are smaller so the 'world's smallest mp3 player' does not really hold.

Maybe they meant, "world's smallest with a standard replaceable battery"?
Or maybe "world's smallest with an LCD display"?
Or "world's smallest you can actually buy at retail"? :twisted:

Gotta admit the silver-dollar sized competitor looks good.
All it needs is wireless earbuds and an LCD display.
Maybe in a few years...

Yeah, it would rock to have something like this with bluetooth.
