Reviews

Philips GoGear Vibe
The Philips GoGear Vibe isn't the best budget MP3 player we've seen, but its enviable colour screen, photo viewer and video playback make it one of the most well-rounded in the price range.
-
Philips GoGear Opus
The slow interface probably kills what would have been an excellent player with decent format support and great sound quality.
-
