Philips HDD100

The Philips HDD100 is nearly as flashy as an iPod, and can rip into WMA and MP3 directly from the source.

Philips HDD100

This handsome player has extra recording powers and a unique design.

Beautiful design, simple and easy to use, voice recorder function

Noticeably slow processor. Leaves you thinking you could have gotten something better for the money
