When it comes to slim candybar MP3 music players, I can’t help but compare them with the iPod nano. Like Steve Jobs said yesterday in his keynote, iPod has a 63% market share in the music player market, and the iPod nano has been their best-selling player so far.

So how does the Samsung K3 compares? Let’s take a look, Samsung K3 vs. iPod nano:

• Thickness: 0.27-inch vs. 0.26-inch
• Display: 1.8-inch color OLED touchscreen vs. 1.5-inch LCD with blue-white backlight
• FM-tuner: Yes vs. No
• Music Formats: MP3, WMA, and PlaysForSure vs. AAC, MP3, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
• Photo Formats: JPEG vs. JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only), and PNG
• Storage Capacity: 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB vs. Same
• Colors: Black vs. Green, Silver, Black, Pink, and Blue

As you can now see, they are pretty different MP3 players that will appeal to different crowds. If you want the slimmest MP3 player with FM-tuner support, look no further than the Samsung K3.
