Samsung Debuts iPod Nano Competitor

Samsung debuted on Tuesday its largest flash based music player with subscription capabilities. The YP-Z5 features a capacity of up to 4GB, a 1.8-inch color screen with photo support, a 24-hour advertised battery life, and weighs about two ounces. Microsoft has also certified the devices as PlaysForSure compatible.

The YP-Z5 will be available in February for a price of $199 USD for the 2GB model, and $249 USD for the 4GB version. "Consumers are choosing digital music subscription services and Samsung supports this trend with the first 4GB flash player to offer subscription capabilities," Samsung's Mark Farish said.
