I bought the Philips GoGear SA1356 (which is pretty much the same as SA1355) earlier today. I’ve spent enough time with it to write this honest review. Product description - http://mail.google.com/mail/?ik=1b4801817d&view=att&th=115292a781446d1f&att id=0.6
Design - 8/10 The player is designed much like a smooth candy bar. When I say smooth, I mean ultra-smooth. It slips from the fabric that you put it on.

Although you have to charge it for 4 hours with your computer turned on, trust me it's worth the bother. With only one charge the player lasted about 4 and 1/2 days, with 2-3 hours of listening daily. In conclusion this is a good player even though you will have to buy another headphone set.
