Our friends from Appletell, our sister site, reported last week about the big announcement Jobs made about the revamped iPod nano.  These new nanos are available in a rainbow of colors in an 8GB and 16GB version, plus a few other new features. 

It appears that Samsung is using a similar strategy with the launch of the S3 Slim.  As you can see from the above photo, it also comes in a rainbow of colors.  The memory on these S3s is not as big as the nano, as it comes in 4GB and 8GB versions.  The Samsung S3 does have OGG support, folder navigation options, as well as a nine-band user EQ.

This new S2 MP3 player (pictured) by Samsung might be one of the smallest MP3 players ever. Measuring out at 0.65 x 1.62 x 1.66-inches, and only weighing 0.03-pound, it has rightfully earned its nickname, which is Pebble.

Basically, the S2 comes with 1GB of internal memory and also an FM tuner. It plays MP3, WMA, and OGG, and comes in a few colors including green, purple, red, black, and white. The battery life on the S2 is pretty nice, although, considering its size, 13 hours isn’t too long on a single charge. However, it only takes 2 hours to fully charge, which isn’t too bad. There are a few buttons on the device, basically just play, pause, volume and playback options. If you want a small MP3 player then the Pebble may be one to consider.
