There are also dual forward-facing stereo speakers and an embedded mic, so the Player 4.2 could be used for VoIP calls. Samsung has also thrown in an FM radio, GPS, and Bluetooth 3.0 support. Samsung promises 5 hours of video playback or 40 hours of music playback with the Player 4.2's 1,500mAh battery.
