Philips GoGear Connect 3

"This should be $99." That was the first thought that popped into my mind after a few minutes playing with the GoGear Connect 3, a $179 portable media player from Philips. I wasn't being nasty or petty. In world that now includes a $199 Kindle Fire, I believe that many manufacturers are having a tough time coming to grips with consumer price expectations. Philips isn't alone. As I've noted recently, both Samsung and Sony need to check back in with reality, too. Taking price out of the equation for a moment, let's assume you're here to find an Android-based portable media player and you're wondering how the Philips GoGear Connect 3 stacks up. Let's take a look. Compared with the neutered smartphone designs of the Samsung Galaxy Player 4 and 5, the GoGear Connect 3 looks more like a classic portable media player. Much of this can be attributed to the oversize Android navigation buttons (back, home, menu) running across the bottom of the 3.2-inch screen. Also, instead of placing the built-in speaker on the front of the device like some vestigial earpiece, Philips relocates it along the right side, along with buttons for volume and power made to look like machined anodized metal (spoiler: they're plastic).

Philips GoGear Connect 3

The Philips GoGear Connect 3, like Samsung's Galaxy Players, is an Android-based competitor to Apple’s iPod Touch. But while the Samsung models are best described as Android phones minus the phone, the Philips GoGear ($180 for 8GB and $219 for 16GB, prices as of January 4, 2012) feels more like an MP3 player with Android tacked on as an afterthought. Measuring 2.28 by 0.44 by 4.44 inches, the GoGear is smaller than either of the Galaxy Players. Though the GoGear has the same footprint as the fourth-generation iPod Touch, it's nearly twice as thick. The GoGear is built primarily of plastic, which helps the player achieve its light 3.7-ounce weight but also makes the device feel cheap. The overall design of the GoGear is simplistic: The volume and power buttons are located on the right edge of the device, and are colored a vibrant orange that makes them stand out. The front face is dominated by the 3.2-inch, 480-by-320-resolution HVGA display. Beneath the screen are three large Android navigation buttons--Back, Home, and Menu--that feel excessively spongy and rather flimsy. The Micro-USB port and the 3.5mm headphone jack both sit at the bottom of the device. Unlike the Galaxy Players, the GoGear lacks a removable battery.
