# SAMSUNG YEPP YP-K3 Preview by Funear / ENGLISH #
•Last October, Samsung launched its new ambitious MP3 player designed to share music. Named K5, thenew MP3 model from Samsung was instantly surrounded with criticisms on its big size, brick-like look,and inability to play video files.Here, certain criticisms on the big size and brick-likeness of K5 were not completely undue. Koreanconsumers in general prefer MP3 players of compact and slim sizes (plus all the fun and excitingfunctions). As a result, Samsung decided to launch K3 in February, a model made by removing thespeaker set from K5.In that case, is K3 merely another K5 without its bulky speaker? That is not so, I can argue. The codeletter given to each line of MP3 players from Samsung symbolizes the common characteristic linking allthe products in that line. ‘K’ here means the MP3 player’s ability to enable the user to share music withothers. Consequentially, Samsung has also decided to provide a detachable, exterior speaker set for K3as it did for K5.I am pretty sure you have seen many photos of K3 already, but we will go over some of those images inthe following section.Given its speaker, K3 looks perfect to carry around in your back-pack when you are out hiking orclimbing a mountain. The speaker ensures the same sound quality as its predecessor used for K5. As youcan see in the photo above, the external speaker set for K3 can be used only by K3. I had some peoplecomplain about the fact that the speaker is not provided in the basic package. It would be better forSamsung if it provides another type of package that basically comes with this speaker.

looks even ‘charismatic’ when it is turned off.Here is the bottom part of K3. Beginning with K5, Samsung has located the earphone terminals of itsMP3 players in their bottoms. You may be already familiar with this idea: Ipod is known for itsearphone terminal location as well. Such location of the earphone terminal helps to prevent the user frombeing annoyed by the earphone lines when using his MP3 player.
