Bells and whistles? Who needs 'em? Sure, we can appreciate the novelty of an MP3 player tricked out with a Web browser, bonsai tree and food processor, but let's get real: When you're trying to decompress on a flight or get in a quick workout at the hotel fitness center, you don't need any of that stuff. What you do need is a small, reliable player to serve up your favorite tunes on demand, and few players fit that bill better than Samsung's U3. No bigger than a pack of gum, the U3 measures in at a mere 3.2 x 1 x 0.5 inches. This 2GB flash player comes in five colors, all boasting a monochrome screen and touch-sensitive control pad. Thanks to its built-in USB connection, the U3 is ready to use right out of the box—just plug it into your computer and drag and drop your songs. Speaking of songs, the U3 holds up to 1,000 of them; coupled with a battery life of up to 15 hours, you should be good to go for most flights and workouts. And the U3 isn't totally devoid of extras. FM radio, voice recording and portable file storage supplement this tiny package.
