SanDisk Reinvents Sansa View as Price-Slashed Nano Killer

iMav · 10-09-2007, 06:36 PM

its not my heading .... gizmodo has given this heading

1. The new View is SanDisk's first serious attempt at a video-capable player, with native support for H.264, WMV and MPEG4 video. (Earlier Sansas could play video, but only if you messed with it enough to make it work.) When you are in video mode, everything automatically reorients to landscape, so you can turn the View on its side and better enjoy the 2.4" 320 x 240 LCD.

2.
SanDisk's 8GB View will cost just $149, the price of Apple's 4GB nano.
Battery life has been confirmed at 35 hours for music, and 7 hours for video. (According to Apple, the nano can pull off 24 hours of music or 5 hours of video on a charge.)
SanDisk's two Sansa View models will both be compatible with MicroSD/SDHC for memory expansion. Since there's a tiny 8GB SDHC card on the way, you could technically jack this thing up to 24GB pretty easily, though that 8GB card will definitely set you back a few clams.

it doesnt look that bad except for the headphones

Here's the original article:
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/breaking/...ler-297986.php

Is there ANYTHING a Nano can do that this can not? Just asking for a clear comparision. And I don't wanna know something physical, just feature-wise.

P.s. Apart from iTunes.

very cool
i got a evil business idea now
i will tell bankers to add a mp3 player also in the list of student loan ! i hv contacts with many !

iMav · 10-09-2007, 08:28 PM

well i thinkit can do much more .. if im not wrong it shud have fm which the nano doesnt and yeah the biggest adv is that it isnt itunes locked and u can easily drag drop vids and expandable memory

QwertyManiac · 10-09-2007, 08:33 PM

No no iMav, I asked is there anything the Nano can do that would make it better than this?

iPod Nano can play content bought from iTunes Music store.

Sansa View can play contents from anywhere other then iTunes music store. It is better then iPod.

Thats the only difference

I was expecting this

The only thing I see better in the new Nano is its dimensions .. This owns it in all other features, even in the UI.

Yeah, please? You almost always post articles without crediting the site you took it from (and just mentioning the name does not amount to giving it credit).

Why don't people understand? iPods sell because of the user interface and the coolness factor, not because of the features and it is almost impossible to trump the iPod in the looks department and completely impossible to trump it in the UI department.

... and the iPod can't?

Why do you purposely spread misinformation even though you know it is not true? In other words, why do you blatantly lie? Do you like really like being insulted?

crystal_pup · 10-09-2007, 11:07 PM

nope...fm too included

Quote:

On the audio side of things MP3, protected and unprotected WMA and WAV are in there along with support for gapless playback and Audible audiobooks. On the downside, SanDisk has missed a trick in not including DRM free ACC downloads which would have provided iTunes interoperability, but a digital FM radio with 20 presets and a built in mic for video recording softens the blow.
