In today’s world of Digital Audio Players where it is difficult to get noticed, a company like Samsung is trying hard to break Apple’s monopoly.

Ease-of-use and clarity are Samsung’s goals when designing digital audio players. The touchpad on the outer surface of the sleek, flat U3 1GB makes it a damage free MP3 player, as there are no keys around to get damaged. With twenty preset FM stations it becomes a hot favourite. Even an FM recording feature is also included.

The best feature provided in the device is the Play-For-Sure ability, which frees us from the worry of propriety software, as Windows Media Player takes care of everything after the device is plugged in. The Wi-Fi capability, together with an inbuilt amplifier feature and 20mw headphones, are surely some of the most liked features. Can you imagine that it is so lightweight with a mass of only 23 grams? The Lithium polymer rechargeable battery manages to provide an exemplary 15 hours of battery life. It has an ID3-tag and an equalizer feature too. The player is definitely a good start in Samsung’s attempt to gain more MP3 player market share.
