The Philips GoGear Spark takes advantage of the latest in MP3 player technology. It packs music, video, photos, long battery life and a full colour screen into a compact portable device.

This bite-sized MP3 player from Philips comes with an affordable price tag (US $49 for 2GB or $59 for 4GB) with a number of useful features with a unique design.

The compact Philips GoGear Spark is Philips’ attempt to rival Apple’s iPod Shuffle – the microscopic wearable MP3 player. Unlike the iPod Shuffle, the Philips GoGear Spark is an itty-bitty MP3 player with more than just basic features. The Philips GoGear Spark has a reasonably 1.5-inch OLED colour display, whereas other miniscule models tend to only offer either small, monochromatic displays or none at all.

One drawback of the Philips GoGear Spark is that it is not strong in the way of features. It offers support for only a few formats including MP3 and WMA but is not as accommodating as its competitors. Unfortunately, the Philips GoGear Spark also has low storage capacity which is not ideal for those who have a huge playlist on the go all day.

However, apart from these few flaws, the Philips GoGear Spark is a snazzy little wearable MP3 player that offers a well-rounded balance of features, usability and style.
