SanDisk Video Player & Flash Player to be Announced at CES 2007

Here are a few pics of the upcoming MP3 player from SanDisk. Many of us thought there would be a follow up to the e200 series player, possibly the e300. But from what it looks like SanDisk will be releasing a full on portable media center and a smaller flash based player like the c200.

No details are known, but I would guess the PMP to be flashed based, since that is SanDisk’s core business. I will have more information on this come Moday at CES 2007.

[SanDisk thanks Mitch]

Very good news.
Let's just hope the video player is worth it.

The flash player look cool~ just hope the video is pretty good...

Those are diff. right? The second one looks like it may be cool in terms of screen size, and the first just looks really convenient...and smaller than the c200 still?

It only it looked more sexy

The Shyte, I hope you're kidding... there are lots of flash players with USB plugs available. Samsung YP-U1, YP-U2, some Teac players, etc.

"The Shyte, I hope you're kidding..."

..or we may have to dissect your brain for examination.

well dis sucks i jus brought a sansa e250

diggnation on January 7, 2007 11:54 AM

same here andre. May be I will buy this next year when the prices drop. New products are highly priced. Sandisk priced the E200 series $200 all of them.

Great...and I just got the E260 last month. Oh well, it probably would've been out of my price-range anyway.

The flash player is called Sansa Express. It comes in 1GB (assumed from the "250 songs"), and will retail for $59.

I also just discovered that at amazon. It's already available for pre-order there. That ABC link says Sanza Express, lol.

If the Video player there is priced low enough and doesn't have some of the annoying issues of the e200, I might look into it...

The older Sandisk MP3 players (c100, m100, etc.) were Audible compatible, but their (previous) latest-- the e200-- was not Audible compatible and they weren't planning to fix the e200 so that it would be.

For those that want a high end MP3/video player and still be able to listen to audiobooks, does anyone know if the new wireless or video MP3 player announced by Sandisk at CES 2007 is Audible compatible?

I have not seen any review or product description that says one way or the other.

    The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.

    The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.

  • SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

    JAYS q-JAYS

    The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
