SanDisk has announced a slightly redesigned Sansa Clip which comes with slotMusic (microSD cards with pre-loaded albums) support. They are redubbing it the Sansa Clip+ and it will come in three colors and three capacities. The prices are considerably cheaper (which should put these right into our cheap MP3 player category) than similar devices: $39.99 [...]

As you may know, non-Apple portable media players have long operated under the iPod’s shadow. Even before the multi-featured iPod Touch, Apple PMPs have been selling counterparts with better features. The obvious answer is that iPod has become a product that far outweighs the PMP market in its entirety. So not only can’t second placer [...]

Isn’t it a little too late for Sansa to try to take on the iPod Shuffle again? The Sansa Clip was a good try, but the slotRadio, preloaded with 1,000 songs, is, we admit, a lot better. This is no random 1,000-track playlist. Sandisk actually had Billboard to help them out. The slotRadio will be [...]

The Sansa Clip from Sandisk may be the highest capacity clip-on MP3 player right now with 8GB of storage. The added capacity doesn’t add bulk on the tiny player and price point at $99.99 is utterly tempting. You can store 4,000 tracks, which pretty much amounts to all the tracks you could probably afford to [...]

We’ve overlooked the $20 slotMusic and player from Sandisk because it’s not really what we’re looking for here at PMP Today. The idea for slorMusic is simple: a microSD card preloaded with music for $15 a pop. If you remember buying CDs, or if you still do, Sandisk is offering a better alternative. Sandisk believes [...]

Sandisk must have been selling a lot of Sansa Fuze MP3 player because a big Chinese manufacturer has just cloned that player in earnest. The Newsmy M521 + FM transmitter is one of the sleekest clones of anything that we have laid our eyes on. It’s such a professional device copy that Newman actually held [...]

Microsoft’s announcement couldn’t have come at a better time. After being out of mainstream news for quite some time, Zune is finally back in the front pages of technology news. Released in November 2006, Zunes have been selling modestly and have finally reached the 2 million-unit mark. Since Q1 2007, Zune has actually moved up [...]

The Sansa Fuze is a $70 cheaper than the Nano and has a better scroll wheel. It looks like SanDisk has a real winner in their hands. Display is pretty competitive in its price and weight class and with additional FM tuner and microSD slot, the Sansa Fuze makes the iPod Nano look like a [...]

Sandisk has finally announced their iPod Nano rival, and with a $79.99 price point or just $10 more than the screen-less iPod Shuffle, it’s going to be a rough road ahead for the iPod. The Sansa Fuze has a 1.9-inch plays MPEG-4 video and a variety of audio files including WMA, MP3 and WAV. It [...]
