Philips all'IFA mette l'FM nei gadget più avanzati

E' una specie di anti-iPod Touch con sistema operativo Android. Devo dire che non mi dispiace l'approccio utilizzato da Philips per il suo nuovo MP4 Player presentato all'IFA di Berlino, GoGear Connect. Molti i formati audio/video supportati, interfaccia a sfioramento, connettività WiFi, localizzazione GPS integrata... E una radio FM con RDS (ma perché solo 20 preset di memoria in uno scatolo da 16 GB di Ram?). Il tutto a un prezzo suggerito di 250 euro.



PHILIPS GOGEAR CONNECT: FIRST ANDROID MP4 PLAYER WITH SUPERIOR SOUND

Berlin, Germany – Philips introduces the next step in the future of MP4 players. The new Philips GoGear Connect is the first Wi-Fi enabled MP4 player to offer a great Android experience. It comes pre-installed with Google MobileTM applications and thousands more can be downloaded from Android Market, providing endless entertainment. Coupled with the superb sound experience that Philips GoGear players are known for, the GoGear Connect is a standout product.
The combination of Philips’ patented FullSound technology and sound isolation earphones that block out background noise provides a superbly clear and detailed music experience even in noisy surroundings. With Surround for Movies, prepare to immerse yourself in the action and experience cinematic movie sounds while you are on the go.
Philips GoGear Connect’s 3.2’’ touch screen lets you enjoy games, videos and more than 75000 apps from Android Market. And because Android allows you to multi-task between different applications, you never have to choose: listen to music while browsing the internet or check your location using its Google MapsTM for mobile and GPS capabilities – all at the same time.
For effortless accessibility, GoGear Connect comes with Philips Songbird, an easy-to-use program that makes syncing music from your PC hassle-free. Using Bluetooth the player allows you to stream audio or share files. It even has a built-in camera for you to shoot videos and pictures.
A MicroSD card slot gives you expandable memory to scale up the amount of music, movies, and apps you want on your player. At 128 grams, the device is ultra light and measures 113x12.6x59 mm.
Philips GoGear Connect will be available in Western Europe and USA from the end of September 2010. The recommended retail price is EUR 249 for the 16GB version.

A Berlino Philips ha presentato anche Streamium, micro-hifi con funzionalità di Internet Radio (il database di emittenti è quello di Radio Time) e anche qui una bella radio FM.
