Philips 8FF3FP

Advantages: Superb Sound and Cheap
Disadvantages: Memory not too good

... Phillips ShoqBox PSS120 This is my review on the PSS120 which has 512Mb of space to offer! What you get (Accessories) The ShoqBox comes with a black charger which is quite long about half a Meter long so very handy when there isn't a plug socket near, a useful stylish carry case which is quite hard and protects the ShoqBox well, Line in cable to use the ShoqBox as speakers for your PC, CD player or Mp3 player. It also comes with a radio cable which gives signal for the radio to work and a USB cable for music transfer. There is also a software CD which i will explain about later on. Connectivity The USB cable provided can be used to take music off or put music on the ShoqBox using the software provided. I must say I found the software very complicated, locating drives...

Advantages: Good idea, good appearance, excellent brand name!
Disadvantages: Poor software, poor focus, requires more field testing...

...Philips have aquired a worthy reputation for many products, but not The ThumbsCam 1.3MP. Poorly written software which is slow to install, requires too many operator inputs and shows faults both on Win98SE and XP. The image is soft and not focused. Picture quality appears poor, not what you might expect from 1.3MP. Sound quality is acceptable albeit insensitive compared to some other products. Style and design of the camera is pleasing, however I should have preferred a wider clipping device to attach to a flat screen monitor. The remote features of this camera are particually good. Pity that I never managed to delete files using the manual mode switch! To summarise; look elsewhere until Philips make a better job of a good idea. Could do so much better!... Read review

Advantages: Versatile: acts as MP3 player with good speakers & alarm clock & portable speaker set
Disadvantages: Still quite pricey and transferring of music to device is slow

...I have owned this for over a year now - to avoid confusion: PSS110 : 256MB memory => PSS120: 512MB memory PSS231: 1 GB (NB - unlike the other two above - this model does not have FM radio) This review is for the PSS120 which 512MB memory and does have the FM radio. To make this clear, this has the same features as the PSS110 - it just has double the space. It is a versatile device: the 512MB lets me store about 10 full CDs - encoded as MP3s, it had an FM radio which is not at all bad as long as you have the arial plugged in (supplied), it can act as external speakers via its Line IN so can act as computer speakers if required, it also has a line out which I use to plug in headphones or connect it up to my Hi-Fi and play it through my big speakers. great!! CONNECTIVITY There is Power input (required to charge the device... Read review
