Samsung YP-K3 player loses speakers

Like the Samsung YP-K5 music player but not the built-in speaker? Then the YP-K3 is for you.
This MP3 player is a slimmed down version of the YP-K5. The YP-K3 is significantly thinner (0.27 inches, to be exact) and has no external speaker, but other than that, it's just like the YP-K5. You get blue-backlit, touch-sensitive controls; a fun, animated interface; a rated 20-hour battery life; and plenty of features, including a built-in FM tuner, a JPEG photo viewer, and support for subscription music services, such as Rhapsody. No doubt this player will also offer stellar sound quality, just like it's sibling.
For more than five years, Jasmine France has covered a variety of tech products for CNET--from scanners to keyboards to GPS devices--but she's happiest where she is now: sitting atop a pile of MP3 players, "testing" every music service known to man, and jamming a variety of earbuds in every shape and color into her absurdly small ears. E-mail Jasmine.
