The sleek and silver Samsung media player stands out from the rest of media players for two reasons. First, the basic design is different from that of most portable video players such as the Creative Zen. The Creative Zen uses a horizontal, Game Boy like design with the screen at the center and both the navigation and the selection button are on the side. The Samsung media player, by contrast, look like a miniature television set with the screen on the top and both the controls and the speaker below it. Second, this media player is much smaller and lighter than the other two portable media players. In addition, the start menu has five basic options from My Television and My Music to My Pictures and My Videos. Plus, there is a My Settings option.
