Philips premiered three portable media players for its GoGear lineup, the Raga, Spark, and Luxe (pictured). The Spark is a compact, square-shaped player with a 1.5-inch full-color OLED screen that takes up most of the device's face. The edges of the screen click like a button to navigate the player's menus, instead of using an actual touchscreen interface. It will be available in both 2GB and 4GB capacities for $50 and $60. The Raga also has the same tiny square form-factor, this time scaling back the display to a few lines of text and clearing room to put some buttons on the player's face. The OLED screen looks monochromatic, so you're trading a pretty screen for immediate access to control buttons in choosing the Raga over the Spark. The Raga comes in the same 2GB and 4GB sizes, but for only $35 and $45.

The Luxe takes a slightly different approach, with its clip-on rectangular form and simple one-line LCD display. It stands out by including Bluetooth 2.1 support, letting you interrupt a song to screen a call, using the player's display as Caller ID. The player works as the microphone, so you can keep a tab on incoming calls without swapping back and forth between gadgets. The Luxe comes in 2GB and 4GB sizes for $90 and $100 and should be available in January.
