Philips unveils new GoGear, Streamium playersBy Sindre Lia, Sunday 6 January 2008
Philips expands its line-ups of portable and in-home audio players, and adds Rhapsody support to the mix.

Philips and RealNetworks today announced a new alliance to bring Rhapsody to Philip's new portable MP3 GoGear players and Philips' Streamium home audio product line. The new line-up of GoGear players will be optimized to work with the Rhapsody service, aiming to give consumers a seamless music experience. The players will let users rate and save songs to their Rhapsody library, flag songs for later purchase and access Rhapsody's editorial content, all while on the go. The GoGear portable series of players will also ship with enhancements ranging from a larger screen size and better battery life, to built-in Bluetooth and larger memory capacity.

Philip's Rhapsody-enhanced Streamium home audio products aim to give consumers access from their living room to Rhapsody's catalog of over 4.5 million songs, radio channels and personalized recommendations. Philips' Streamium NP1100, the first device in the line to launch with Rhapsody, also features a built-in PC link, a monochrome display, internet radio connectivity and streaming from other PCs on the same Wi-Fi network.

Both Streamium and GoGear players will ship with a 30-day free trial of the Rhapsody service. The Streamium NP1100 is expected to ship in May 2008 for $150, while a range of 4GB and 8GB GoGear players will be released in Q2 2008. The price tags of the new GoGear players will range from $100 to $200.
