The brand new, and tiny, MP3 player from Phillips is out and Cnet recently got their hands on it. The GoGear Spark appears to be a competitor to the iPod Shuffle or the Sansa Clip. The device has a minuscule 1.5″ display and has a (somewhat) innovative interface system where the controls are activated by touching different parts of the screen – similar to the iRiver’s D-click.

The Good: The Philips GoGear Spark packs music, photos, radio, voice recording, long battery life, and a color screen into an affordable little package.

The Bad: The GoGear Spark is light on format support, voice recordings are noisy, storage capacity is meager, and not everyone will appreciate its wearable design.

The Bottom line: In the world of budget MP3 players, the Philips GoGear Spark is a diamond in the rough, offering an attractive balance of features, style, and usability.

Score: 7.0/10 (or 3.5 stars)
