My sister gave me this new toy to play with and at the same time to review it. It’s always fun to have new gadgets to explore! Thanks Jiejie for giving me something to do when World of Warcraft is down. HA!

So.. I’m here to talk.. or rather write about this Video/Audio Player.

It’s selling at Amazon.com @ USD$129.99 (about SGD$190)
I’ve also seen it at Courts @ SGD$249
Probably could get it at a even cheaper price, I’ve not done a proper check on this.

If you don’t need the Bluetooth feature, there’s the same design, GoGear SA5245. It’s a little cheaper (like $30~40? cheaper). But.. if you’re getting this player it’s probably because of the Bluetooth connection.. It’s quite pointless without it.

What I like about this player..

The inbulit Bluetooth connection is a plus point!

It’s very user friendly! As alot of us know, most people can’t be bothered to read manuals (I never do). This player doesn’t crack your brains at all. Unlike IPods which took me awhile to figure out how to upload stuff into. You will only need to plug GoGear SA5245BT into your PC then copy and drag files into it, just like a flashdrive!

The sound is very clear, as good as my beloved IPod. Probably isn’t better, only because I’ve got a very good earpiece for my IPod.
The earpiece I have with the GoGear player is good too. I’m not sure if it comes with the player though, probably does. My sister only passed me the player without the box, so I don’t know.
But if it does come with it.. that’s another plus point!

Unlike my IPod, GoGear SA5245BT has a inbuilt FM Radio and it is very clear. 98.7FM has been my bestfriend for the past few days ever since I gotten this player!

What I dislike about this player..

I’ll probably only use it as a Mp3 player, so I would rather have something small (like the GoGear 2GB Mp3 Player) because I have a PSP to watch videos on and I can bring afew memory cards around, so I won’t be lack of memory space for more videos. GoGear SA5245BT only has 4GB in it.. and videos are usually quite big files, so I won’t be able to put many videos in it and even if I do, I won’t have space for my music. But then again, not everyone have a PSP & Memory cards don’t come free.
