A Day in the Life of Your U3
A musical companion that travels with you, Samsung’s U3 is a colorful digital audio player with all the bells and whistles.
For the Professional Music Maven
You are always on the go. You have multi-tasking down to a science. It keeps you efficient, productive and successful. You stay on top of things by catching up on the news every morning on your way to work on FM Radio. Using RDS*, it is easier to find the station you want. In addition, the OLED will display extras including song titles. At work, you insert the U3’s USB to transfer a file you were working on at home to your work PC. Forget emailing files to yourself, the U3’s flash drive is direct, secure and easy. Throughout the day, you use your U3 as a personal assistant, recording voice reminders. You love the sophisticated and sleek look of your U3. Small and compact, and in classic white or black, it fits in well in your professional life. After work, you stop by the gym for a quick workout. You’ve never been a person to hassle with playlists so you select the “cheerful” mood playlist with the user hot key, clip your U3 to you workout clothes, and set yourself up for an hour of grueling (but rewarding!) exercise. The earphone reel keeps wires under control and out of the way while the energetic beats keep you pumped up as you push your body to the limit. At the end of the day, you wind down with some music on your MP3 player. With 15 hours of playtime on a single USB charge, your U3 will be ready to face another day, and so will you.
A Rainbow of Colors for Music on the Fly
As your music source, whether it be the latest hits aired on your favorite FM radio stations, or the ones downloaded to your MP3 player, the U3 keeps you grooving to the beat all day long. You escape the drudgery of your commute to school by listening to your favorite tunes, especially the ones on the new CD you bought last night, which you were able to easily rip onto your U3 with the MMX8 this morning. The earphone reel keeps wires from getting tangled with your bag as you make your way through the hustle and bustle of morning rush hour. You love the way the earphones and earphone reel match the color of your U3…and, coincidentally, the way your outfit does, too. In fun colors including green, pink and blue, the U3 is like eye candy, especially with the color-matched accessories. But the U3 is not just for fun and entertainment. An academic aid, the U3 can record lectures, which can be reviewed later. An indispensable tool especially for language classes, you can playback recorded material at various speeds. Who knew that something so cool and fun could help you get you your A? At night, you let the tunes lull you to sleep. No need to worry about being jolted by a loud, upbeat song. You’ve used the Automatic Mood Playlist to play quiet songs. Modern lullabies, really. To save batteries, you set the sleep timer to turn off the player automatically after 30 minutes. Hopefully you’ll be in dreamland by then. But even if you’re not, and you play your music all night long, it doesn’t matter. You can recharge the batteries using the USB port from any PC. You close your eyes and gradually fall asleep with dreams of U3 dancing in your head.
