Picked up a YP-S2 Samsung "pebble" MP3 player at Big W today for $47.

As my 30GB iPod will be exchanged (battery started plasying up)-maybe next week, I got this player to use in the meantime.

Quick impression:
Red body is shiny and really nice to hold in the hand.

UMS-so works on Macs-not in iTunes alas, unlike my Creatives and iPods, but I always use a Windows PC for syncs/fw updates.

Included earphones are good.

Some comparisons with shuffle:
Battery life-13hrs, about the same.
Interface just as easy but a playlist can be done on the device itself
SQ-Better because their DNSE technology has 3 sound effects-concert, studio, normal-wish Apple would include a EQ option in iPod shuffle preferences in the next revision.
