SanDisk Introduces Sansa Fuze Media Players
SanDisk is gunning for the Apple iPod line again, this time taking on the video-capable iPod nano with its new Sansa Fuze line of portable media players. The Sansa Fuze players sport a 1.9-inch color screen, capacities of 2, 4, and 8 GB of flash memory, a microSD slot that enables users to expand storage…and they start at just $79.
“The Sansa Fuze is an eye-catching player that consumers will enjoy for its looks, capabilities and incredible value,” said SanDisk’s VP of Sansa product marketing Eric Bone, in a statement. “This new MP3 player combines some of the best features found on other Sansa products, including great sound quality. It’s yet another strong offering by SanDisk in the sub-$150 music player market.”

"The Sansa Connect is a new breed of music player," said SanDisks’ Daniel Schreiber, senior VP and general manager for SanDisk’s Audio Video Business Unit, in a statement. "It untethers consumers from their computers, and allows them to get new music and share their recommendations anytime, anywhere—over an open wireless Internet network."

The Sansa Connect is a Wi-Fi enabled portable digital music player which enables users to access and recommend music and photos from anywhere they can get wireless Internet access, along with tapping into music subscription ervices and streaming Internet radio. The Sansa Connect is built around mobile entertainment technology from Zing so users don’t have to use a PC to manage mobile music options.
SanDisk Unveils 8GB Sansa e280 Flash PMP
SanDisk today took the wraps off its Sansa e280 flash-based personal music player, featuring a flash-based storage capacity which leaves Apple’s current iPod nanos in the dust: 8 GB. And the diminutive little unit offers a host of other features you won’t find in Apple’s ever-popular offering.
“SanDisk is once again making it incredibly affordable for consumers to purchase the most feature-rich, high-capacity players on the market at the best possible price,” said Eric Bone, SanDisk’s director of audio/video product marketing, in a statement. “The most costly ingredient in a flash-based MP3 player is the flash memory. Since we make the flash memory, we essentially remove the middleman and pass that savings directly to the consumer.”

Sandisk Shows Off New Sansa Speaker Dock
In addition to the Sansa Car Transmitter which was announced yesterday, Sandisk today unveiled plans for a portable sound system for their Sansa digital audio players. The Sansa Speaker Dock will be available in coming weeks for $79.99.
The Sansa Speaker Dock, Sandisk said, is a one piece system containing four full range speakers and an amplifier with volume controls. The Sansa digital audio player is slid into a recessed docking station and an attached connector cable is inserted into it. It runs off of an AC adapter or four AA batteries, can be connected to other audio devices and has a USB cable connection so that music and data can be transferred to a Sansa player when it is docked.
Take Your Tunes on the Road with SanDisk
The stereo transmitter plugs into a standard vehicle cigarette lighter and pipes music from the portable player through an unused FM frequency on the radio. This allows motorists to take a largelibrary of music — as many as 48 hours of MP3 music and 96 hours of WMA music — when using a Sansa 1-gigabyte player combined with an optional SanDisk 2GB SD flash memory card.
The Sansa Car Transmitter is a one-piece system that has a custom holder for the player. Attached to this is a flexible steel neck for easy positioning and, at the opposite end, a 12-volt connector for the lighter socket. The vehicle’s power system runs the player, thus conserving the life of the Sansa’s battery.
