The launch of Yet-Another-Nano-Killer is imminent. Again. Maybe. Or it will be someday, anyway, because according to CNET, the Samsung YP-K3 is not it, even if it’s a “solid sexy player.”
While they think it’s nice-o, with a very good design and simple interface, CNET says the touch- sensitive controls can be “challenging to use.” Whether “challenging” means “not even Laura Ocaña would manage” or “requires you to rub your fingers until the skin peels off” or “requires you to jump on one leg while wearing latex pajamas with your hands glazed in maple syrup” for the controls to work is yet to be seen.

More highlights after the jump.
They argue it doesn’t have video or audio recording, but then again, the nano doesn’t have that either, so I don’t see their point.
Looking at the latest news, my main problems with it is that it doesn’t support AAC. Also, like the Samsung YP-K5, it won’t work with Macs or as a storage unit.

Cheaper than the nano, the 0.27-inch thin, 1.8-inch OLED screen Samsung YP-K3 will set you back $119 for 2GB and $169 for 4GB.
