Clarify mp3 player specs - Samsung S5

Dec 1, 2008 8:40PM PST

Hi,

I want to buy a pair of bluetooth speakers for my laptop (my lappie speakers died sometime back). Since I live in Mumbai (Bombay), India I feel I have limited options. But I came across the reviews of the Samsung S5 and I think this is a good option for me - except I would like some clarifications on the product.

1) Is the Samsung S5 reviewed on CNET the same as the 'Samsung YP-S5QB' as shown on the Samsung website? http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=mp3audiovideo&type=mp3player&subtype=mp3player&model_cd=YP-S5QB/XTL

2) Did I misread this detail on the player, but can I use the S5 to connect with my laptop as an external speaker as with a cellphone or an mp3 player?

3) Is the sound level (quality I shld be ok with) worth the price? Or should I wait for better-looking bluetooth speakers to be made available here?

Any help with it would be much appreciated Grin
