Samsung's 4GB YH-820 MP3 player

Samsung YH-920

We first spotted one of these back when we hit the opening of their Digital Experience showroom back in September, which is when this was originally slated to go on sale here, but now Samsung has officially announced the YH-820, their 4GB competitor for the iPod mini. But only for South Korea, that is, we're still not sure when this'll be out here. And yes, we know that the YH-820 is going to have to get in line behind the Creative Zen Micro, the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox, GoVideo's Rave-MP ARC5.0, Motorola's M500, the Rio Carbon, Dell's Pocket DJ, and Virgin's 5GB MP3 player (among others) when it comes to taking on the iPod mini, but the YH-820 does have a few things over Apple's player, like a built-in FM tuner and a 1.5-inch color screen. Plus at 84.5 grams it's actually about 17 grams lighter than the iPod mini, though to be fair, the YH-820 does have slightly more volume than its main competitor.
