Samsung’s YP-K5 MP3 player which was released earlier this year came in an extremely different design, featuring a unique slide out/slanting speaker that was head and shoulders above the rest of the competition. Samsung apparently loves this design and will port it over to future Samsung cellphones and media players if information from these patent filings are anything to go by. I personally think these new designs will be the next big thing, just like how the Motorola StarTac kicked off the clamshell craze. After all, with phones getting all the more multimedia intensive these days, a form factor such as this is perfect for viewing videos on the go. There is no word on when an official product sporting this design will be released.
