Video: Hands-on with Samsung's K3

The K5 looked great and everything, but for those not digging the external speaker or people looking for a potential Nano competitor, the K3 looks like it could do the job. For the full specs, check out our earlier coverage, but in the meantime, check the video above or the download below for a first look at Sammy's slim portable media player.

Why do electronics manufacturers all of the sudden think that glossy black is so awesome? It only looks good until it gets touched! If this had a matte finish, I'd be a lot more interested.

Don't worry, before you know it we will all be back to matte. Just as in fashion clothe the electronic industry goes from one color or finish to the old one.

Z5 Excellent, T9 pretty good. Where do I sign up for the 8GB version of this? My only worry is firstly I had to wait a few weeks when I got the T9 before it properly got OGG support and was worried it never would. I just hope the battery life with this is acceptable playing back OGG's as the other two players are both rated at 30+ hours but seem to offer considerably less playing back OGG, I hope this manages at least 15 hours.

Eh, I'll stick with my Zune/Clix/H320 instead. I saw the speaker one and the slightest touch changed the song. That wouldn't last too well in my pocket. =\

It's pretty sharp looking. But why is it almost all video reviews of DAPs except for the ipod have the user navigating with TWO hands what the heck!!!
