Editor's Choice

Samsung YP-U3

Samsung YP-U3
With Earphones Front Top Angle

review

Just when I thought SanDisk had designed the perfect tiny flash portable media player with its excellent and affordable Express, along comes Samsung with, well, a very similar product. But despite the great features these two small players share, the U3's outdoes the Express, beating it at its own game. Sadly, there can be only one reigning Editors' Choice in the cheap portable media player category here at PC Magazine, and Samsung has (just barely) wrested it from the Sansa Express.
