Philips unveils Bluetooth-enabled music player

Philips is going after the female market again with a new stylish clip-on player called GoGear LUXE. The player sports either a ruby red or white prism design on the outside, but don't be fooled by its faux jewel-like cover because this player has a few extra goodies you won't find on the iPod shuffle such as Bluetooth connectivity.

That may not sound terribly exciting, but having Bluetooth connectivity on this ultra-light player means you can pair it with your phone and answer incoming calls while you listen to your tunes. Even better is the player's tiny LCD screen on the side that displays the number of the person calling so you can decide whether to take that unexpected call during your commute or workout.

GoGear LUXE also comes with FM radio, 2GB of storage, Bluetooth 2.1, and Philips' proprietary FullSound audio technology to make your music sound better. You also won't have to install extra software on your computer like iTunes, because you can transfer music to GoGear LUXE simply by dragging and dropping music files onto the player via your PC. The sub-$100 MP3 player will initially be released in Singapore starting this November, so hopefully we'll see it in the U.S. soon thereafter.
