Philips has lift the lids off their new flash based MP3 player, the GoGear 256MB Digital Audio Player SA255. The only feature that makes it stand out in a crowd of many would be the rugged wearable design.

The player will come with 256MB and will include a mini-SD slot for expansion. Both MP3, WMA, and WAV formats will be supported. No word on how long to expect the device to run for, but it will take a single AAA battery. The device measures in at 97.5 x 43 x 23mm and manages to pack a 128×48 white backlit LCD screen. Other features include line-in encoding, FM tuner, USB 2.0, and voice recording.
