For all its success, the iPod touch has few dedicated media player competitors capable of matching its big-touchscreen, WiFi, and voluminous App Store. Until today. Philips just went official with its GoGear Connect featuring the full suite of Google Mobile applications pre-installed with access to the Android Market for pretty much everything else.
Specs: 3.2-inch display, WiFi, sound isolating earphones, built-in camera, microSD slot and Android OS (version not specified yet).
Syncing your music is done over Bluetooth or a USB tether to your PC with Philips’ Songbird providing the software assist. The GoGear Connect come to Western Europe, China, and the US, starting in late October with the price pegged at €249 (about $315) for the 16GB model.
