Samsung Electronics announced Thursday that it unveiled the world¡¯s smallest MP3 player. The new YP-T5 MP3 model is much like a fashion-accessory with its 5.4 centimeter-tall body weighing only 24 gram (except battery) and comes with fashionable colors such as chameleon blue, white silver and red, the company said.

Despite its small size, the latest model allows customers to store and play various types of music files including MP3, WMA, ASF and offers functions such as file navigation, folder play and MP3 encoding.


The 'SRS WOW technology,' an audio enhancement technology also embedded on the latest model, enables the customers to enjoy high sound quality and its voice recording and portable file storage function can be useful in recording lectures and classes and keeping notes. There are three types of the YP-T5 model depending on its storage capacity of 128MB, 256MB and 512MB.

Meanwhile, Samsung will put much emphasis on its MP3 player business this year, expending the 2004 revenues in the MP3 business sector three times that of last year to W350 billion while boosting domestic market share to over 40 percent.
