This song is similar to the image of K3. Think of K3 and enjoy.
The first model of Yepp that is going to be launched for the first time in year 2007
The first model that yepp logo is not shown on the product for
the very first time among all yepp products.
It is YP-K3.
K3 is slim. The top picture shows the appearance that the front
side of K3 is faced down.
Have a look at other pictures of K3.
K3 that is seen in real is not much different to the pictures shown above. It might sound little bit provocative, but I can express the exterior design of K3 as following. Compared to any other mobile devices of any brands, K3 design is not going to succumb.
K3 is simple. Design, GUI and function are all simple. It does not have special functions apart from playing music and FM radio and viewing text and images. K3 is a product for people who are looking for a real music playing among multi functional convergence products.
T5 (year 2003) -> T8 (year 2005) -> Z5 (year 2006). The
