The demo unit I saw today was still in its engineering stages, but I was happy to see that Philips was taking some uncharacteristically cool risks by placing the speaker up top with some unique buttons that have the look of machined copper.

The back of the GoGear Connect is bare, which unfortunately means no camera support.
