Samsung's YP-C1 MP3 players finally released in US

Not that Samsung really has such a track record that would lead us to expect timely US product releases, but their pumping out of the YP-C1 players 8 months after announcement isn't really winning them any points. Even better is the fact that in the meantime they've managed to develop and release a YP-C1 killer, the
YP-U1, but they've released the player nonetheless. The C1 still has the same old 4-line LED display, totally done MP3, WMA, ASF, and OGG support, a microphone for recording, and an FM tuner. The 42 hour battery life comes from a rather bulky AA, but the storage ain't that hefty: 512MB in the YP-C1XB and 1GB in the YP-C1ZB — which strangely enough still isn't available.
