Philips SA3100 Series Flash DAPs

SA3100

By: Jenn K. Lee on May 1, 2007 12:58 AM

The most unique element about Philips' upcoming SA3100 series of low-capacity flash DAPs is that they support SMV videos. Other than that, the white 1GB SA3114 and 2GB SA3124 and the black 1GB SA3115 and 2GB SA3125 (names we'll all certainly remember) are pretty standard fare. They've each got 1.8" 65K-color LCD, FM radio, voice recorder, JPG photo viewer, and . . . well, that's about it.

Battery life is pretty dismal at 10 hours for music and 2 hours for video, but the prices for the 0.46"-thick players aren't too bad: 70 and 100 euros for the 1GB and 2GB versions, respectively.

Jenn,

It seems to me that Philips needs to take fewer naps and work a few more hours. Though there isn't anything inherently wrong with their efforts, they do seem to be a little un-inspired.

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.
