Samsung YP-K5 - Infosync

Samsung-YP-K5-Reviewed.jpg

A review of the Samsung YP-K5 digital audio player has been posted on Infosync World. 'When the screen and the touch-sensitive buttons are not lit, the Samsung YP-K5 looks like the black obelisk from "2001: A Space Odyssey" -- it's a nearly perfect, glossy black rectangle. At 0.7 inches, it is not a thin flash player, by today's standards at least, but it's still small enough for a jeans pocket.

Except for a Hold/Power switch on top, all the buttons are touch-sensitive. We find touch-sensitive buttons to be a bit gimmicky, better for aesthetics than usability. Often, retrieving the player from our pockets, we would switch tracks accidentally as our fingers grazed the button surface, until learned to engage the hold switch. Though the buttons provide no tactile feedback, the player emits a loud chirp whenever you press a button. Buttons were generally responsive, if not too much so, but the menus themselves were a bit sluggish.'
