The Samsung Yepp YP-Z5 is part of the opening salvo from the non-Apple high-capacity flash player camp. This is no iPod nano-killer, but it does have some advantages, including better battery life, a bigger screen, and better photo-viewing capabilities. It is also the first PlaysForSure-compatible 4GB flash player on the market—-a plus for some and a minus for others. One of the most exciting things about this MP3 player is its 30-hour battery life, which blows away the iPod nano's 14 hours. Its chunky body (nearly twice as thick as the nano) and somewhat finicky controls are probably what will keep this otherwise satisfying player out of the limelight, but techies will love nice touches like Ogg Vorbis support. The Z5 is available in black or silver, and pricing is along the lines of the iPod nano, with the 4GB model at $249.99 (list) and the 2GB version at $199.99.
