Advantages: Long battery life Disadvantages: Playback not smooth, loose USB cap
Since my Creative FX200 died (never buying another Creative product again after my disappointment too with a 7-speaker set), I had been after an MP3 player which would make use of the rechargeable (AAA) batteries.
The PhilipsGoGearSA2620 is a no-frills and no-radio MP3 player, and comes with a USB Cable stickered, "IMPORTANT - Install software first", but I doubt whether it's necessary to do so - surely you can just drag and drop without installation.

Ease Of Use:
The funtionality of it's screen options are simple, easy to understand and to follow. However the button interface is a fraction too small and I can often accidentally press 2 buttons at once or the wrong button entirely.
Look and Design:
For the money you pay for this device. It's design is stylish and very easy on the eyes. Its ...
