Samsung Z5 portable MP3 player


Apple , Samsung

According to NYTIMES, Samsung is set to unleash the Z5 portable MP3 player. The new player which will appear on store shelves March 5 features software forged at Iventor Inc. by a small team of programmers led by Paul Mercer, 38, a veteran Apple Macintosh software designer.

Samsung's decision to hire Mr. Mercer is significant because Apple, in designing the original iPod four years ago, turned to Pixo Inc., the company Mr. Mercer founded after he left Apple in 1994 to create software for hand-held devices.

Apple used Pixo software to create the music player's simple interface, and Pixo's name appeared in the credits of the original iPod MP3 player. Sun Microsystems acquired Pixo in 2003.

It still looks like it has more buttons than an iPod. Looks like a long toggle switch on the side. The metal ridge all the way around I'm not sure Ilike either.
