The Philips GoGear media player is packed in a plastic package that nicely shows the device. Included in the package, besides the Philips GoGear SA6185, we found a software CD, a quick guide in eight languages, earplugs and a USB cable for recharging the media player and for transferring files. The GoGear media player has been equipped with a 3.5-inch LCD monitor with QVGA resolution of 320 x 240 pixels in 65,000 colours. 

 

 

Philips GoGear review

The Philips GoGear is just over one centimetre thick and a tad bigger than a hand-sized media player. Next to the large monitor on the front of the media player, some buttons are positioned. The menu button that lets you return to the main menu at all times, and the navigation buttons with the on/off button in the centre that also serves as play/pause button. Furthermore we find two integrated speakers on the front. The bottom side carries a button to lock the Go Gear. On the topside the volume button is placed for adjusting the volume and the button on the right side of the device lets you go directly to the playlist.
