Philips' sleek mobile entertainer

Reuben Lee | Nov 29, 2007

From the company which first brought us the CD and DVD comes yet another portable multimedia player, the 4GB GoGear SA6145. While the device could have done with a less daunting model name, it does offer a decent set of features.

There is a large 3.5-inch QVGA display which is great for watching video clips and viewing photos. Users have the option of using the onboard speakers or earphones (via the 3.5mm jack) for audio playback. Storage capacity is capped at 4GB, which may be a tad too small for some people, but there is onboard FM radio as well as a voice recorder. The common audio and image formats such as MP3, WMA and JPEG are supported, but videos are limited to WMV9 format only. A video converter software is, however, bundled to support other video formats.

According to Philips, the SA6145 will be available only in selected Asia-Pacific markets, including Singapore, Thailand, New Zealand and Malaysia. It is now retailing at S$309 in Singapore.
