PC Magazine reviews the 30GB Philips GoGear HDD6330

You might have lost this sexy little DAP in the CES shuffle, but the ever-watching PC Magazine snapped up a Philips GoGear HDD6330 and put the 30GB player through its paces. They like the device overall, which weighs in at 5.3 ounces and measures 0.7-inches thick, but found the 15.5 hour battery life lacking and the interface lag -- including a 5 second delay when selecting a song from the menu while playing another tune -- pretty lame. They found the physical interface, which is a touch sensitive LED lit affair, to be responsive and functional, though the sexy smooth face of the player doesn't allow for any tactile feedback, and smudges up something fierce. The screen is a 2-incher with a 220x176 resolution, and doesn't sound like much to write home about, but PC Mag liked the included earbuds and overall sound of the player, which, second to sexiness of course, is really the whole point, right?
