Sansa View

Got it hand it over to SanDisk for making a bang in the DAP market. Over the past few days i had been planning to get the Sansa e280 which is a 8gb flash memory mp3 player that retails for AUD $350 here in Melbourne. But after the Christmas rush i had trouble getting this.

And this week guess what happens, at CES SanDisk anncouned the Sansa View, an 8gb model video PMP for almost the same price as the Sansa e280!! Sansa view goes on retail in the US for $300. So i guess if would be available in Australia in a couple of months for AUD 400-425. And once the wide screen iPod is announced maybe the prices will fall.

for more info on the Sansa view go to SanDisk Product Page
for videos from CES go to AnyThingButIPod

IRiver has also announced new models but as usual they will be quite pricey and Apple might be announcing its new iPod at MacWorld 2007
