SanDisk goes after the Shuffle with the new Sansa Express
Get ready for the war of the itty bitty teeny weeny mp3 players. The new Sansa Express is a bright, fresh contender in the miniature mp3 player market. The Express comes with 1GB of internal storage with a direct USB connector, no longer a feature with the diminuitive 2G iPod Shuffle. The Express also comes with a built-in FM tuner, voice recorder and a quad-line OLED display.
But here’s what I think is really the biggest feature of this player: the microSD card slot. Yep, you’re not restricted to the 1GB of internal memory. If you’ve got more songs that you love, just pick up a microSD card. Flash memory is getting cheaper by the day so if you want to add another gig or so to your little mp3 player you should be able to do so fairly cheaply. And with the lifespan of these flash-based mp3 players being fairly long (no hard drive to worry about) you might be able to afford 2, 4, or 8GB cards when they are released.
And at $59.99 when it is release, the Sansa Express could be a real contender against the Shuffle. I love the iPod and all the many different versions therein, but I also love to see competition. I think SanDisk may have a winner here.
