In all honesty I think the Q1 design is more attractive. However the battery life on this looks improved.

Looks like K3. I liked Q1 design more. Nevertheless I would like to put my hands on new Samsung. I owned Z5 and was impressed- its SQ was great, player itself felt solid, I really enjoyed that one, but I guess I'm old fashioned- I'm looking for minimalistic, audio-only player with decent SQ and long battery life. Sadly- nothing seems to satisfy me these days...

I currently have the Samsung Q1. Its a pretty nice design and is very easy to use. The sound quality seems to be really good. It sounds better than my sisters ipod nano. The only problem I'm having now is the size. I keep running out of room so I'm stuck to ripping my cd's to 320 instead of flac.

I guess I could keep switching out the music if I kept it in flac but that would be a pain.
