With all this hype going around about the new Z5, will the iPod get pwned by samsung's Z5?

The Samsung YP-Z5 will be released MARCH 5, 2006. It is 2gb 4b, priced at 199 and 249, respectively.

This was designed by Paul Mercer, same guy that designed the iPod.

That, is Paul Mercer. (not a very flattering picture, NYT needs to take better photos)

The 35 hours of battery life is extremely tempting, but I want to watch korean dramas on it. And it's "scratchproof" laugh.gif

I'm excited, but I don't really think this is good enough to beat the iPod.



please do not PM me asking me to close threads, etc! i am no longer a mod! ^^ thanks!

Not for that price for a 2G//4G model. That's partially why iPods sell so well, they don't even cost that much and the design isn't bad at all.

hm. yepp does have great sound.
and 35h battery life.

but apple still stands. It was the first to really make a big break into the portable music industry, I doubt this one product is enough to turn that many heads.

But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me

I do agree. The battery life certainly makes it very tempting. It looks a little like Creative's Zen, except theirs comes with a wide variety of colours.

the design doesn't appeal to me as much as the ipod nano did... i think it's because i don't like silver xP

It won't beat an ipod because most people here are stupid and follow the masses.
