Philips danced into the new year this week, refreshing its Android-based PMP range with the GoGear Connect 3.

Revealed last year at the IFA 2011 show, the GoGear packs quite a punch, running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and featuring built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, providing access to apps and games from the Android Market and other services such as email and Skype.

The Connect 3 rocks up with a 3.2in touchscreen display, DLNA capabilities and a host of Philips sound tech, including 'FullSound', 'Sound Personalisation' and 'Surround for Movies'. There's a wide array of format support too, handling up to 720p video playback.

The Philips GoGear Connect 3 will be available mid-January, with an 8GB version pegged for Argos stores at £160. ®
