Philips SA075 officially launched in Beijing, spotted in the wild

Hard to say exactly how many Earthlings (and Martians, for that matter) are jazzed about Philips' forthcoming SA075 PMP, but it looks as if the wait for a ship date is drawing to a close. Over in Beijing, the player was recently showcased at a product launch party, and while a stateside release still hasn't been talked about, it was confirmed that the HD playback will be capped at 720p (and not 1080p, as the unicorns and elves were hoping for). We're also told that the display will boast an 800 x 480 resolution, an HDMI output will be onboard and at least a few gigabytes of storage will be included. Riveting, no?

[Thanks, Gavin]

Can't see how many gigabytes it has on the photo.
So how to store some of the 720p movies from my computer?
SD slot? 1 movie at the time?

Back in October it was previewed and the model had 4gig w/ a Micro SD slot.

who cares. phillips is a b-class electronics company, never seen anything worthwhile made by phillips. i'd buy a phillips for a gramma, or someone equally technologically clueless.

@lebowski Well, apart from being a leader in medical gear, having invented compact cassette, and co-invented CD with Sony. Yeah, sounds B class allright. Not.

Really, who do *you* rate as an 'A' class electronics company?

i happen to like their pmp line i have an aria gogear its a 16 gig for 80 dollars has all the features you would expect in a pmp and comes with media converter and youtube downloader to install the only problem i have with their pmps is that they use a proprietary video format
