Review of Samsung's YH-920GS MP3 player

CNet has a review of Samsung's latest Napster co-branded audio player, the YH-920GS, and they've decided it's the most promising launch since the original iPod. It's certainly got enough features, including support for MP3, WMA,
Audible and Ogg Vorbis, along with line-in recording and an FM tuner. It also works with USB On-the-Go, which means you can use it to back up your digital camera without having to carry around yet another piece of gear to get the two talking. With a street price of $299 for a 20GB version, it's more or less competitive with the iPod. Still, you can't help but wonder whether Samsung is getting much out of their deal with Napster. The Napster brand doesn't really carry the weight that it used to during its outlaw days, and their online store isn't exactly doing so well.
