11th January 2006 - Samsung Electronics reaffirms its reputation
as a leading innovator in the portable audio space with a new
ultra-slim, lightweight flash-memory player that puts 3D sound
in the palm of consumers' hands. The YP-Z5 Music Jukebox works
seamlessly with music subscription services, and features a
long lasting rechargeable battery for up to 24 hours of continuous
music enjoyment. Samsung's full digital audio line will be on
display during CES 2006 at the Samsung booth, #11033 in the
Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from January
5th - 8th.
"The YP-Z5 displays Samsung's commitment to expanding the
market possibilities in the portable digital audio space,"
said Mark Farish, Digital Media Products Sr. Marketing Manager,
Samsung Electronics America. "Consumers are choosing digital
music subscription services and Samsung supports this trend
with the first 4GB flash player to offer subscription capabilities.
With its 1.8" quality LCD screen, a slim, durable body
and extended battery life, the YP-Z5 stands above the competition."
The YP-Z5 is Microsoft Plays For Sure Audio Download and
Subscription enabled, making it the first 4GB flash memory
MP3 player that supports subscription services such as MTV's
Urge, Napster, Rhapsody, and Yahoo. Samsung's music jukebox
is a high capacity, ultra-thin and elegantly designed player
with a durable aluminum body to prevent scratches and smudges.
Weighing in at just over 2 ounces with an ultra-slim size,
the Samsung Music Jukebox slips comfortably into a pocket.
Samsung's proprietary DNSe Portable 3D Sound Technology offers
high quality sound, and the close to 24-hour rechargeable
battery life provides round-the-clock music play that far
exceeds other high-capacity flash devices.
The 1.8" color TFT-LCD screen is one of the largest
in its class and lets users view photographs and album art
with ease. Users can create sizzling slideshows with dynamic
effects as well as pan and zoom on digital photos. The unique
touch pad interface makes navigating the player's functions
a snap, and users can customize their user interface background
with any JPEG. The YP-Z5 is music subscription service enabled,
so consumers can play DRM content transferred from a PC, and
the player supports MP3, WMA, WMA DRM10, and JPEG formats.
The YP-Z5 comes in both silver and black.
Samsung's YP-Z5 Music Jukebox will be available in February
2006 at $199 MAP (2GB) and $249 MAP (4GB).
