Samsung YP-U3 Digital Audio Player

Ending weeks of speculation on the actual specs of Samsung's iPod Shuffle killer, Samsung in Japan has officially announced the arrival of its ultra slim MP3 player, the YP-U3, not like we're all that excited about it.

Shipping this June, the YP-U3 is will come in in 5 colors (pink, blue, black, white and green) in 1, 2 and 4GB models.

Although there is still no word on pricing Samsung promises that the device will be very affordable while maintaining highly quality construction. Not to mention built with all the features you'll ever need (or maybe that's just marketing speak).

These features include an FM Radio and a Voice recorder. There was mention of Touch Pad in our translation of the Japanese press release but right now it doesn't quite make sense.

The device has a blue OLED display and a USB port for hassle free transfers of music files. It support MP3, WMA and OGG Vorbis formats and lasts approximately 15 hours of continuous play. It also comes bundled with retractable earphones.

Reservation starts today on Samsung Japan's online site but the product won't be available till June. The device is also rumored to be available in other markets next month.
