The Samsung YP-K5 digital music player was announced back on Sept 1, 2006 and is now becoming available. The player itself is somewhat standard in that it has a capacity of up to 4GB, supports MP3 ASF and WMA music formats, has a photo viewer, and an FM radio. The K5 also has a 1.7 inch OLED display, plays for up to 30 hours on a charge, and most unusually, comes with built-in slide-out dual speakers.
CNet had a look at it and decided that they liked the sound quality and the ‘stunning’ interface, but that the girth added by the onboard speakers was a negative. Overall, they gave the K5 a rating of 8.3 out of ten, and a rank of excellent.
CNet’s best overall MP3 player continues to be the iRiver Clix, which comes in at 8.7/10.

I think there might have been a bigger market for slide-out speakers if they could’ve been lighter.
I’m not a slide-out person. I like to whip out my phone and have it ready to go in one fell swoop.
