Philips Go Gear 2 GB Audio/Video Player

Here's a new taker in the portable player market. It seems quite snazzy with its multifarious features and the price. Interested already? Read the review first!

Good Sound Quality, Sleek Design, Eco-friendly (not the tree-hugging type), Auto Tune FM, Plug and Play, Good Recording Facility

Very limited customizing options, Below average video, Slightly slow navigation, No resume feature
