It's also a web-browser, with easy access to Gmail, Facebook and a world of other popular work/fun tasks. The support for Android Market plus the Amazon Appstore allows the GoGear Connect to download content from among thousands of assorted apps and games, accessed via 802.11g Wi-Fi. But under the hood is it running the Android version 2.3.3 ("Gingerbread") operating system, leading some to refer to it as the "Android touch" although this is not a nickname that Philips is using, certainly. The black handheld device offers an extremely familiar form factor, with a 3.2-inch capacitive LCD touchscreen and just a few hard buttons here and there. The ubiquitous Apple iPod-particularly the iPod touch-remains on many people's shortlist of gotta-have-it gadgets, and so it seems only logical that a portable media device like the Philips GoGear Connect Wi-Fi MP3 Player arrive on the scene to expand the use of Android even further. Largely in response to Apple's many successful offerings, the use of the Android operating system for smartphones and tablets seems to be booming, with many more products yet to come.
