Philips GoGear SA9100 & SA9200 Flash Players

Philips

By: Grahm Skee on June 14, 2006 9:30 PM

Philips will be introducing two new flash players to their GoGear line. These players are prices inline and set to compete with all the other “candy bar” MP3 players like the Z5, Nano, and Sansa e200. The 1GB will sell for $150 and the 2GB will sell for $200. Philips is missing out on a crucial higher capacity 4GB+ market.

All of your standard features will be packed into this smooth backlit touch sensitive case like its other GoGear siblings. Expect the SA9100 in September and the SA9200 in July.

has anyone noticed how similar this player is to olympus mrobes? my friend has one (olympus) and it looks almost identical to that one, apart from being thin, and having a colour screen, the backlight is also red not blue.

I know it VERY similar. But cool none the less. Bigger memory may improve it. There should be more 6,8 or 10 gb MP3's.

Samsung P2

The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.
Toshiba Gigabeat T400

The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.
SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
JAYS q-JAYS

The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
