Samsung YP-S2 Pebble MP3 player

The Samsung YP-SC Pebble MP3 players are being introduced to compete with the iPod shuffles and nanos. The pebble is the latest in the line of small, user friendly MP3 players that are portable and sporty enough for people on the go. The Pebble comes with a multitude of features that make it a must have item. The player is compact, holds 1 GB of songs, and battery life of up to 13 hours.

The Samsung YP-S2 Pebble comes in an assortment of stylish colors for those looking for something other than black or silver. The colors range from black and silver, to magenta, deep blue, and stone color. The size of the Pebble, only about two times bigger than a quarter, and made to look like a beach pebble, makes it easy for running errands, working out, or just lounging around the house. The Pebble uses a Windows Vista interface which makes it easy to drag and drop favorite music files from your computer to your MP3 player. On the side of the pebble there is a USB port, and the accompanying flash drive is used to connect the Pebble to the user’s home computer. The computer comes with the necessary drivers and “Media Studio”, which is Samsungs default media player. However; Media Studio is not needed to run the MP3 player. Any number of media will work, including iTunes and Windows Media Player. The Pebble supports MP3 and WMA files.

The Pebble holds up to 1 GB of music. While this is equivalent to an iPod shuffle, the iPod nanos come in 2, 4 and 8 GB. The advantage of the Pebble is that is functional and easy to use. There is no LCD screen, but the Pebble has an LED light with power controls, and easy to use buttons that allow for fast manipulation. Samsung has also used superior sound in this ultra tiny MP3 PLAYER. The Pebble uses DNSe (Digital Nature Sound Engine) technology that provides for a more realistic, natural, yet bigger sound. The DSNe feature on the player can be used with the accompanying earphones, or any choice of ear phones. The aim of DNSe is to improve sound quality through bass and volume.

A light display is also a feature of The Samsung YP-S2 Pebble. The Pebble uses a LED light effect display that can be used based on the playback mode the user chooses. The pebble goes beyond listening to music and makes it an atmospheric experience. The battery life of a pebble lasts up to 13hrs. The battery can be recharged by placing the Pebble into the USB port of a computer, or there is a charger available. The price of the 1GB is $39.99, and a 2GB is rumored to be coming out also. The Pebble can be a great addition exercising, around the office, or simply in the comfort of home. MP3 players have come a long way, and the The Samsung YP-S2 Pebble shows it.
