Samsung U3 MP3 player launches in Oz

Gizmodo AU

m_u3.jpgWe heard about these colourful lozenges last week off the feed, now just a few days later they’re here in Australia, delivering 2GB of loving for $119 (we aren’t getting the 1GB or 4GB options).

MP3 / WMA / OGG / ASF; 4 line OLED; FM tuner; voice recording… and even an earphone reel to keep your colour-matched headphones tidy. Oh, Samsung, you think of everything! Smooches! Make mine a lime green one. Or is that mint green?

Though a word of advice. Don’t list “Blinking LED light” as a product feature on your website. That’s kind of sad.

    so are these actually U3 or have they just stolen the name?

    Do you mean the flash media app system? No, they’re not that. They’re just a version up on their U2, which itself was not the Irish band of the same name, nor the recon aircraft.

    You know for an additional $250 you could get the Samsung x830 and get a 1Gb mp3 playin’ mobile phone!

    can you listen to your “closed to a proprietor’s software” phone via a car stereo that has usb?

    does it have a 3.5mm jack for FM transmitters?

    other benefits involve a dedicated battery for your music and that.

    But they shouldn’t have just ‘removed’ the metal casing on the usb connection to make it fit into their slim line design. It should of had a “plug + cable” or something if they wanted it thin.

    Also sleek responsive buttons woulda been better then a ‘touch pad’.

    Little things like setting the play mode to random involve quite a few menu steps.

    and how to you make playlists for this thing? its in the mp3 player’s menu and no ware to be seen in the samsung media software to create them?

    but today I couldn’t find anything else well priced and ‘non generic’ in stock

    thats my 2 cents :P

    picked up this baby today:
