Many great things have carried the Phillips name. The guy who wrote our National Anthem. The pretty one from The Mamas And The Papas. That cool screwdriver that makes an little plus shape. And the Philips SA1210/37 1GB MP3 Player.

Playing both MP3 and WMA (try that, Apple Jack) the Philips SA1210/37 1GB MP3 Player comes with four equalizer presets: Classic, Jazz, Pop and Rock. And I guess “Off”, but maybe that’s an easter egg. Anyway, this comfortable little player also plays WAV files too, so if you’re the kind of person who hates to downsample his Jeff Lynne, this is the player for you.

The Philips SA1210/37 1GB MP3 Player also has a built in microphone. It’s mono, but hey, so was Pet Sounds, right? It’s Flash based so you can run without skipping (but try not to drop it) and it works as a mass storage device in case you need to move some important files before the subpoena hits. We’re only thinking of you, Mr. Rove.

Best of all, the batteries ARE included! Or is included, since the Philips SA1210/37 1GB MP3 Player takes a single AAA, which powers it for about 8 hours. Plus some in-ear headphones so it is ready to go right out of the box.

Don’t leave cookies and milk this year, leave a Philips SA1210/37 1GB MP3 Player full of the new Robert Plant & Allison Krauss album, or maybe that new Wu Tang Clan. Santa loves the Wu.
