"old-skool". I think Philips makes some of the best electronics products out there. Other manufacturers just make products to show "good numbers", Philips actually thinks about the interface, and make thinks that work very well. I.e., if you would take a Sony and a simmilarly priced Philips boom-box, the Sony will have higher power, etc, but the Phillips usually sounds better and has a better thought-of interface. I really think that "old-skool" is not that bad, experience with what actually works and how to make a usable product counts. Now of course, the streamium might not be the best example...
