SanDisk ออกเครื่องเล่น multimedia สุดเล็กและบาง ความจุ 16GB ราคา US$199 (เท่า iPod nano 8GB)

ส่วนรุ่น 8GB ราคา? $149, เท่า iPod Nano 4GB.

อายุการใช้งาน ถ้าฟังเพลงอย่างเดียว? 35 ชั่วโมง, และประมาณ? 7 ชั่วโมงสำหรับการดูหนัง. (ipod nana 24hr และ 5hr.)

ทั้งสองรุ่นสามารถเพิ่มความจุได้โดยใช้ MicroSD/SDHC. นอกจากนี้แล้วยังฟัง วิทยุ FM และยังอัดเสียงได้อีกด้วย
สนับสนุน H.264, WMV and MPEG4 video.ความละเอียด 2.4" 320 x 240 LCD.

Interestingly enough, SanDisk isn't partnered with anyone on this go 'round. The Rhapsody friendship from the E200R days appears to have fizzled, and the Yahoo branding that appeared with the Sansa Connect is, as yet, just a one-off thing.

Speaking of the Connect, the View will not have Wi-Fi. Then again, I
can hear SanDisk saying, neither does the nano. Look for it this
October.

SANDISK ANNOUNCES THE NEW SANSA VIEW: A SLEEK VIDEO MP3 PLAYER WITH REMARKABLE FEATURES AND CAPACITY AT AN UNBEATABLE PRICE

MILPITAS, Calif., September 10, 2007-SanDisk® Corporation
(NASDAQ:SNDK), the second largest seller of MP3 players in the United
States, today announced the new Sansa® View - a video MP3 player with a
vast array of features and generous capacity, at an unbeatable price.
The sleek-looking Sansa View marries the finest MP3 player attributes
with full-motion video support (typically found in larger portable
media players (PMPs)), a larger screen, long battery life and generous
capacity--all in a thin, easy-to-carry package. Expected to be
available in October, the Sansa View will carry a manufacturer's
suggested retail price of $199.99 MSRP for a 16GB flash-based player
and $149.99 for the 8GB, far surpassing the competition with respect to
value and price.

A significant step-up from the company's award-winning Sansa e200
music player series, the slim Sansa View features music, photos, FM
radio and audio books, plus easy video transferring capabilities and
hefty memory capabilities of up to 24GB (by using an optional 8GB
microSD/microSDHC card).

"The Sansa View is a new video MP3 player that combines all of the
great characteristics of a MP3 player with the video capabilities of a
PMP, and packs it into a pocketable device," said Eric Bone, vice
president of marketing for SanDisk's Sansa audio/video product line.
"What's more, we're once again showing that category-leading technology
can still be very affordable."

SanDisk's Sansa View video player innovates beyond the typical video
loading procedure, making it easy for consumers to transfer videos
natively using widely available software. Most popular formats are
supported via embedded player functionality (H.264, WMV and MPEG4), or
via a one-time software download of the Sansa Media Converter which
quickly transcodes numerous video files, including DivX.

Consumers can purchase and insert one of SanDisk's microSD/microSDHC
cards to play up to 24GB of music, video and photos on their Sansa
View. (Today, SanDisk microSD/microSDHC cards come with capacities of
up to 8GB.) In addition, the microSD card allows users to easily move
their content to a cell phone or other mobile device.

A MP3 player at its core, the Sansa View device comes equipped with
all the soup-to-nuts features typically found in the Sansa audio line.
The smooth, backlit scroll wheel and vibrant 2.4" widescreen display
make it easy to navigate to: a music library; video collection; digital
photos; digital FM radio with 20 pre-sets; an integrated microphone and
voice recording, and Audible audiobooks.

The device supports many music download and subscription services, including Rhapsody To Go®, Napster, eMusic and others.

The Sansa View player will come in two capacities--8GB and 16GB--and
is expected to be available from retailers in the U.S. in early fall
with other regions to follow shortly thereafter.

The Sansa View was first announced last January at CES. In June,
SanDisk decided to re-scope the product to develop a player with new
features and functionality that best suit current consumer interests.

SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the
world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, using its
patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology. SanDisk
