Philips is entering the MP3 player market with something vastly different from what they used to do in the past, and this time round the Luxe might not come with a whole lot of internal memory (just a paltry 2GB), but it is interesting as it can also function as a Bluetooth headset, allowing you to interrupt your music session with incoming calls seamlessly. The one line LCD display lets you know who is calling while your cell phone remains tucked away in your pocket. Sounds pretty redundant though, since cell phones are pretty capable MP3 players in their own right these days, so separating that function onto a Bluetooth headset is more of a novelty. Gotta love the design though as it would go down well with a Nokia Prism in tow. The Philips Luxe MP3 player cum Bluetooth headset will be released in Singapore next month for approximately $94.
