Reviews of the Philips GoGear SA6185 (8GB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Philips GoGear SA6185 is an uncomplicated and inexpensive portable video player with built-in speakers, Windows DRM support, FM radio, a relatively large screen, and voice recording.
The Bad: The Philips GoGear SA6185 suffers from a dull design, weak built-in speakers, poor video codec support, limited storage capacity, and low screen resolution.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a cheap way to entertain the kids on a road trip to Dullsville, the Philips GoGear SA6185 should work out fine. Grown-ups, however, deserve a more substantive gadget.

Review Summary: The SA6145 has large defects and gives us the impression it could have been conceived a little better. It should have big problems asserting itself on a market that is already quite competitive.
