Philips, the progenitor of PSV Eindhoven in Holland, has released a few new digital audio players that may please the Sansa-loving crowd. They’re names are forgettable, with a hodgepodge of seemingly random numbers mixed together in a blender, but know that they’re all part of the GoGear family. GoGear, if you remember, had a heck of a showing at CES in January.
As for these particular players, they’re about what you’d expect from a small, inexpensive line of flash DAPs. Anywhere from 2-4GB of storage, built-in FM tuner for listening to “Stairway to Heaven” win best rock song at the end of the summer, and so on. An honest-to-goodness display differentiates it from the likes of the iPod Shuffle.
Nothing too crazy, in other words.
“Stairway to Heaven”? No way, dude. It’s good, but there’s no way it’ll beat “Freebird”! (”What song is it you wanna hear?”)
