by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Samsung Electronics has released the YP-F1 mp3 player that -- despite weighing a mere 32 grams -- features an alarm clock, an FM radio, a mass storage unit and a voice recorder, Hardwarezone.com reports.
The "Yepp" series of MP3 players from Samsung Electronics has certainly come a long way in design, dimensions, functionality and storage capacity since it was first introduced to the masses.
Today, Samsung Electronics is widely regarded as one of the leading names in the business of MP3 players for build quality, industrial design and audio quality.
At the recent product launch of five new models to their 2005 lineup, Samsung Electronics let loose its goal to be amongst the top three player in the portable MP3 player market, a space that is currently dominated by the likes of Apple and Creative.
For now at least, Samsung Electronics leads the China market as the number one brand for MP3 players.
This is an ultra light and tiny MP3 player purposefully styled for the image conscious individuals and will market in three different storage capacities of 256MB, 512MB and 1GB at going prices of US$133, S$163 and S$200 respectively.
Considering its size is not much bigger than a small thumb drive and that it's after all going by the Samsung name, the recommended retail prices are actually somewhat acceptable.
The YP-F1 boasts a good many functions in spite of its relatively small mass.
At only 32 grams, the glossy player is a combination of an alarm clock, an FM radio, a mass storage unit, a voice recorder, an MP3 player and a flattering accessory to your attire.
The wearable theme even extends to the bundled earphone which when strung through the bend of the metal clip, it allows you to wear the player as you would with a necklace.
As for performance matters, we were able to extract close to nine hours of playback time from its built-in Lithium Polymer battery.
