SanDisk Sansa Rumors

Current SanDisk portable media players range consists of 10 products (or series). Let's take a closer look at the every single one of them.

Sansa e200, m200, c200 and Express series are virtually the same as many other MP3 players on the market. They can be confused with the others on the shelf. However they are more than hi tech enough. E.g. SanDisk Sansa Express is the world's first cordless (just like a thumb-drive) MP3 player with the microSD slot. Not bad for the tiny flashdrive player.

Sansa View is the direct competitor to the Apple's iPod and Microsoft's Zune MP3 players. Actually, the name 'MP3 player' is too traditionalist's for such device. I'd prefer to call it pocket sized media center. Not only because you can watch movies or read ebooks on the go. There are a lot of third-party accessories like dock stations and FM transmitters dedicated to SanDisk Sansa View and Sansa e200 series players.

Another great distinction of the Sansa View which stands it out from the closest competitors is a flash memory. Well, Zune and iPod which are HDD based offering more storage but SanDisk Sansa View much more reliable because its built-in flash memory didn't suffering from the vibrations of any kind like hard disk drives. Unless you are using your player only at home sitting on the coach you are constantly shaking and shocking it. Too bad for HDD based players.

All those models described above are of the pretty common kind though SanDisk has some really unusual thing in the sleeves. Let's talk about them in the next posts.
