Samsun S5 is pretty cool

About a week ago someone posted up about liking their Samsung P5 (or was it a P2?). Anyway, this got me looking at the Samsung site and I really liked the S5 I saw there. I just got it today and I really like it! The built in speakers are nice for when the ear buds start killing your ears (I don't like the funny shape of the Seinhouser? buds it comes with). It's a bit odd that the player always shows charging if I plug it into a computer and it's a bit annoying that I can play tunes and charge off the comp at the same time but it's pretty nice. The menus are easy to navigate and I like the touch pad. My biggest concern is that since the speakers are design to fold out there aren't really any decent cases for this model player. I'm gonna dig around a bit more to see what I find. Overall I really like this little bugger. $150 for a 4g flash player w/ bluetooth and built in speakers.  wt:

Oh, also a little disappointed that it won't work directly with the Scala Q2 headset I just got. I was kinda hoping it would. More the headset's fault than the player. Headset says it can work w/ GPS units and I figured an mp3 player isn't much different but I guess maybe it is and I would need to get a GPS unit to mediate between the 2. Not sure if I've got the money for that right now so I may return the Scala and wait for them to get stereo since they've already got the bluetooth 2.0.

The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!
