Samsung YP-K5

Battery
The Li-Po rechargeable battery runs for up to 30 hours of uninterrupted playback using the headphones but only 3-5 hours with the speakers. So that's another minus point for the speakers.

Recharging is simple enough. Just plug it in to your PC’s USB port and it’ll charge up within a few hours. (even the charging menu has quite an attractive display.

Conclusion
Prices are at Rs. 11,500 for 1GB of space and Rs. 12, 000 for 2GB. The K5 is available with 1, 2, and 4GB capacities, although the 4GB version is not yet available. That’s not too much space considering the high cost. In my opinion, with this player, although you’ll end up with a snazzy looking device with some great graphics, it only sounds good with the earphones.

The bottom line - it’s too expensive to pay for a portable "Boom Box" (as they’ve termed it) that doesn’t pack too much of a Boom and comes with so little memory. I’d settle for an iPod. But with the K-5 earphones of course.
