Philips are just swimming in Android love at the moment, with the announcement of a new GoGear media player following hot on the tail of their range of Android Fidelio speaker docks.
When it comes to smartphone docks, Android users have had to glance enviously at their iPhone chums, with precious few accessories being available for the platform.
Philips hope to redress the balance with the launch of their whizzy Fidelio docking speakers for Android.
Looking rather dandy with its shiny black control panel and matt black speaker gauze is Philips’ new Streamium wireless micro hi-fi system.
Just spotted strutting into the UK Argos catalogue is Philips’ new GoGear Connect portable media player, a fully-featured Android-powered device available in 8GB and 16GB flavours.
Philips Electronics have unveiled a fabulously steampunk-looking LED light that is set to replace the common 60-watt light bulb.
According to Philips’ calculations, their natty 12-watt Endura LED manages to reduce energy use by 80 percent and will last 25 times longer than the common-or-garden 60-watt incandescent bulb.
Three years of life
Their new long-life LED bulb is claimed to last 25,000 hours (that’s 2.8519864656130287 years!), a huge improvement on the measly 1,000 hours that most consumers eke out of their old school 60-watt incandescent bulbs.
Just in time for the World Cup – and the inevitable English disappointment – Philips will be wheeling out two new Freeview HD set-top boxes, snappily named the Philips HDT8520 HD PVR and DTR5520 HD receiver (who dreams up these awful names?).
One of the unexplained mysteries of modern technology is why mobile phones continue to get slimmer, smarter and more stylish while most home cordless phones look like chunky, great lumbering Stone Age slabs of ugly plastic with Neanderthal interfaces and squinty screens.
Looking rather dapper in its sleek and shiny modern finish, the Philips SE6552B cordless answerphone bucks the trend of beastly home phone design – but will its good looks be backed up by an equally pleasing performance?
