Philips GoGear Ariaz 8gb

 

Although received in a timely manner I received the wrong product. The model number in the description was different from what W sent to me. I was told that I'd get a refund which I did but I stressed that wasn't what I wanted. I just wanted the RIGHT...

Great but be aware

 

This player is great but not out of the box. This is the second of this model of player that I have the pleasure of dealing with. The software version on the mp3 player is very outdated and needs to be updated. This sounds extremely easy and it would...

Ariaz Delivers.

Tiny, Elegant MP3 Player Has Features That On-the-Go People Appreciate

 

It's easy to love this elegant little MP3 player. It's thin and compact (3/8" x 2" x 3-5/8"), and feels really great when held in the hand. It has the basic features that on-the-go people will use and appreciate: (1) a music player, (2) a video player,...

Awesome MP3/Video player...
