Gearing Up Again with the GoGear Vibe

It was late December last year when my GoGear Vibe SA1VBE04K/97 stopped working. I got in touch with Philips and to cut the long story short, I got my replacement unit already. It's still a Vibe, but a different model. The process may have taken some time, but it's quite understandable. Actually, I'm just satisfied to finally have a music player again. So thanks, Philips Consumer Care!

I've been using this unit for several weeks now, and it's time to share with you some of my thoughts on the Philips GoGear Vibe SA2VBE04S/97. For product specifications, check it out here.

First Impressions. While it looks good, I still dig my previous GoGear's all-black appearance. The lanyard slot is misplaced and is an inconvenience (it would have been better if it was placed on the bottom area), but maybe it's not meant to be worn on the neck. However, it has better graphics, and its function buttons provide faster and more friendly navigation.

Survivor: Redemption Island - EP02

Previously on Survivor

Eighteen castaways were flown to Nicaragua for an adventure of a lifetime. One is a questionable former federal agent, and one looks like last season’s sole survivor. Also, two of the most notable survivors return. A hidden immunity idol was immediately found.

Russell’s tribe won the immunity challenge, so Rob’s tribe had to go to tribal council. In the end, Frencheska was sent to Redemption Island, because Phillip had a difficult time pronouncing her name.

Seventeen are left. Who will join Frencheska on Redemption Island?
