Let's talk about some gadgets we always have fun with and some really great companies that work hard to do our life even more interesting. I mean MP3 music players and companies such as SanDisk!
The new concept of the SanDisk is to fuse some color into their MP3 lineup with the introduction of their new Sansa Fuze MP3 Player. The new MP3 player will come in a variety of colors: black, red, pink and blue. The 8GB version will be available in silver too.
Specifications
The Sansa Fuze:
- supports MP3, WAV, Audible and WMA formats (both protected and unprotected format)
- supports online subscription services such as Rhapsody To Go, Napster and eMusic
- playsMPEG-4 video and JPEG photos formats
- is powered by the internal rechargeable battery with capacity of holding a charge for up to 24 hours for audio and 5 hours for video
- has a microSD slot which is available to further expand the storage capability
- has an FM radio
The Sansa Fuze player is expected in the U.S. at the beginning of April. Other countries including Canada and Europe will benefit of the player latter this spring.They promise 2Gb, 4Gb and 8GB capacities. The expected price is US.99, US.99 and US9.99 respectively.
Some reflections over itThe general opinion is that it is a nice looking player at a very affordably price. Besides there are few players capable of playing music and video, supporting online subscriptions and going under US0.
The support of a microSD card is also a strong point, as the everlasting issue of a player (with such specs) is 'not enough space'! You may enjoy great possibilities of a player, but when it last only several hours it makes you feel angry. So, the longevity of the player is an always welcome feature. So it comes that SanDisk has made a name on its flash storage products, which makes me trust them on this!
The second really great think about the Sansa Fuze player is its affordable price. Let's be honest, there are several music players to compete with the SanDisk's one (such as iPod), but there is one area most of them loose positions. That's the area of price! It is always about how many features you buy for the money?! Why pay more when you get the same features with the same quality at a better price?
