SanDisk's 8GB MP3 Player

SanDisk recently said that its latest MP3 player has the worlds largest flash-based capacity, as it sports no less than 8GB. If this statement is true or not, it really doesnt matter, what matters though is the fact that SanDisks Sansa e280 is good looking, highly portable, with a lot of storage space and comes with a bunch of pretty impressive features such as award-winning audio, photo viewing and video clip playback capabilities, and a microSD expansion slot allowing an expansion to 10GB (2,500 songs) with an optional SanDisk 2GB microSD card.


"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, director of audio/video product marketing at SanDisk. "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."

The player is designed to work with a wide range of popular music formats, including MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) in both unprotected and protected files (such as those WMA files purchased from music stores). The Sansa also features a digital FM tuner, voice recording capability by using a built-in microphone, no less than 20 hours of playback and a replaceable and rechargeable Lithium Ion battery, a multi-pin universal connector for future accessory upgrades, and the trendy USB 2.0 connectivity.

SansDisks latest MP3 player sports a little TFT color screen with a diagonal of 1.8 inch that enables an easy viewing and advanced navigational features within an easy to use interface. The Sansa e200 series players support Microsoft PlaysForSure+ so you can download and play songs for a flat monthly subscription fee from music stores such as Rhapsody To Go and many others.
