Remember seeing the GoGear Connect back in September, when Philips launched it at the IFA 2010. That was the first PMP to run on Android and will probably be a close competition to Samsung’s Galaxy Player. Gingerbread is not the only new bit to this PMP, there’s also some changes to the design.![With Gingerbread! (courtesy Cnet)]()

The trackpad from the previous PMP has been ditched and instead there are three designated buttons for home, back and menu. The MP4 player also has the following specifications:
- 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen
- Wi-Fi
- HD Video (720p) playback support
- 16 / 32 GB memory
The device will have access to the Android Market and in turn there seems to be a whole lot of apps available for users to download. The media player is slotted to hit the market in September, this year and the price quoted is $179.99 (approx Rs. 8,000) which looks quite attractive. Let’s wait to see the device launch. Plus, we certainly hope it doesn’t delay in hitting the Indian market.
