Luxury car king brings us its first ever mobile phone.

If Philips’ portable audio division has one thing going for it, it’s definitely consistency. While other manufacturers are tacking value-added features onto their products like WiFi, higher storage capacities, and more codec support, Philips just keeps on releasing the same damn model in slightly different form factors. Cases in point are the company’s new SA9300 (pictured right) and SA5100 (pictured left) DAPs, which offer the same small color screens, FM tuners, limited file support, and maxed-out 4GB capacities that we’ve already seen a hundred times before on devices like the SA9200 and SA6045. GenerationMP3 spotted these units on Philips’ German site, meaning we’re not sure when/if the cookie cutter players will be hitting the States; pricing, however, seems to be in the €99 to €199 ($133 to $268) range, depending on model number and storage.

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Filed under: Storage

We know that you’ve been barely able to sleep since the new miCARD memory card format was announced — who would be the first manufacturer to get these out the door, you wondered — so you can finally rest easy with the news that Pretec is showing off its own version of the multi-functional little wafers (pictured larger than actual size, of course) at Computex in Taipei. The company’s S-Diamond line already tops off at an impressive 8GB (with theoretical capacities of 2TB, but we’re not holding our breath), and like the flood of other miCARDs soon to hit the market, will work with regular SD/MMC-capable devices through the use of an adapter. Pretec still isn’t being forthcoming with any pricing or release info on these, but since there’s no miCARD-specific hardware on the market yet anyway, we doubt that many of you care.

Day 1 at Computex has drawn to a close and Engadget’s lovely sister site in China was at the heart of the action. First order or business: blow out the booths with all the photos and video they could shoot. Funny enough, even though the show is being held in Taiwan, favored son HTC arrived without their new Touch — go figure. Don’t be shy now, the important bits have all been translated into English. Hell, you might even get lucky and see a girl.
