Excellent little player

Aug 18, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Very lightweight and compact, good audio and video quality, bundled software are easy to use, very nice design.
Cons: Finger prints smudges are terrible, not for people with big fingers battery life is shorter than expected.
Opinion:
The YP-S3 comes in a very nice little see though plastic case, which gives a very nice first impression. As the player comes in a assortment of colors, there is bound to be one which will please you. The design of the player is very good, with it's slim profile and touch sensitive buttons that lights up automatically when you touch anyone of the buttons.

The audio quality of the player is very good and the preset EQ settings are does improve performance quite a bit.

The touch sensitive controls are responsive however due to the size of the player, people with large fingers would find this a nightmare to use as the buttons are somewhat close to one another.

Video playback is crisp and very good for a screen of it's size.

The bundled software makes the transfer of songs and video very easy as there is a built in video converter to convert the video of interest into the player's native resolution and format.

All in all a very good little player and should be able to satisfy most people's requirements. However do take note that the battery life seems somewhat less than expected. I rated it around 14 hours on one charge for audio and around 3 hours for video. which was less than expected.
