Philips GoGear SA6025

 

Philips' additions to the PMP market are quite worthy of attention. The company employs sleek designs, large clear interfaces, and navigation menus that are a breeze to use. But sadly there's always something missing that could have made their devices...

Battery Finally the battery. The SA6250 uses a 800mAh. Li-Polymer battery which is really good. It dishes out a good 14-plus hours of music and at least 3 hours and 40 minutes of video. That’s around a full movie and a little more than half of the...

Philips GoGear SA6025 (2GB)

 

As MP3 players go, the GoGear 6045 is neither cheap nor terribly compact, but it's not expensive and huge, either. The 4GB player goes for about $140 (by contrast, the 4GB Creative Zen V Plus is $110) and measures 3.6x2.1x0.5 inches. The relatively...

The Philips GoGear SA6000 offers a user-friendly design, an ample screen, and dedicated volume controls. It includes desirable features such as an FM tuner and photo and video support. The player is compatible with subscription services, and it has a...

The control pad on the GoGear SA6000 feels cheaply built, and there's no album-art support. The unit is large for a flash player, and some music comes across flat while some bass-heavy tracks are slightly distorted

The Philips GoGear SA6545 is a feature-filled MP3 player that will suit those looking for good video playback over a compact form factor.

My mom just bought this for me yesterday for my birthday. They do also sell it as an 8gb at walmart for $99. The playback quality is amazing. My cell phone has an mp3 player on it, but this easily surpasses it. While it may weight a pound or two, ......

My husband and I purchased this mp3 player for our 9 year old daughter for her birthday.

 

Try reading the manual before downloading songs on the mp3 player. It tells you how to specific songs, and videos so that you will not make the same mistake we made. Now we have to go into the mp3 player and unload all the songs a start over. We...

It has excellent sound, and the video screen is sharp and gives out a crisp view

We was trying to download specific songs for her that was appropriate for her age that was already on our computer. It ended up recording every song we had from our Windows Media Player
