AnythingButiPod have published their review of the Philips GoGear Aria portable media player. 'The Aria is something in between an Insignia Pilot and a Meizu M6, design wise. It's a landscape-only player meaning the screen is 220x176 pixels not 176x220, with the controls on the right not the bottom. The 2" screen covers part of the front along with a 7-way d-pad. There aren't many players with 7-way d-pads on the market and most of them have a scroll wheel for volume in those 7 controls (iPod nano/classic, Sansa Fuze/e200/view etc) but the Aria actually has a fully tactile 7-way d-pad as well as regular volume buttons on top.'
