Price of Philips' new Android media player leaked by UK retailers

Posted on 17 Aug 2010 at 15:11

Although Philips' new Android-powered Go Gear Connect SA2CNT16S/02 portable media player hasn't even made an appearance on the manufacturer's UK web site yet, its price, specification and pictures have already been revealed by UK retailers including Argos.

The MP3 player, which is listed as running Android 2.1 Eclair, rather than the newer 2.2 Froyo version of the operating system, has a 3.2in touchscreen, 16GB of flash storage, a built in camera and a microSD card slot to add up to 32GB of extra storage space. The specification claims that its battery will last for 25 hours of audio playback and five hours of video. There's also an FM radio tuner and, unusually, GPS.

Argos didn't list any more details, so we don't yet know what connection options the PMP will include – WiFi is likely. Various internet rumours also point towards Bluetooth, SDXC support for 64GB and larger memory cards, and an integrated speaker to provide support for VoIP telephony.
