Thread: New SanDisk Sansa View-an Ipod

My little rant profits as a reason for anger and revenge from Apple fans. So, we thought that bringing up good alternatives will not be a bad idea at all ..

SanDisk, for those who do not know, is a major producer of memory, which is also different portable media players. I use memory cards made for a while now. My USB flash stick as he made, and, in general, I am very satisfied with their quality products.

To explain the name, the device is a worthy competitor to the new Nano. It has a large screen, long battery lifetime, more memory, a fair price and, in my opinion, looks better.

Read on for details.


I do a little comparison now .. Weed face among them.

Both devices are QVGA screens. In Sansa to the screen 0.4 "diagonally more. This is not much, but in those sizes, it can modify (such as Nano screen against Nokia N95 screen).
In iPod continued for 24 hours when listening to music or 6 hours of video. Very good numbers, yes. This one makes 35 hours of music, video or 7. Cool, is not it?
In either Nano 4 GB or 8 GB flash memory available to the user. This one gets 8 GB, or 16 GB. I think you will get twice as concerts at the same price… That is $ 149 for 8, or $ 199 for 16. Not bad, really…
In iPod has coverflow. But for the Sansa. Just circlish interface with a quick, easy text to music. Nothing fancy.
Some may raise difficult to find accessories for the other players than Apple's. Look here to change. There are accessories brand, "Made for Sansa."

Another drawback of this device is its size. Yes, it is more than the Nano. Not that much, but certainly more. Fortunately, it does not receive less pocketable because of this.

Other advantages? Well, it supports quite a lot of codecs included in the software can convert, not that good. Other formats must come through firmware update. Furthermore, it does not require any dedicated or iTunes software, it only works when plugged in. It also has a radio with 20 presets can be saved. Another "little", which is a slot for SDHC (very big, I might say) extensibility. There is a microphone for voice recording.

If I were to buy a PMP now, it will certainly be one of them, with 16GB of space (expandable). Take a look at the full specs on the product. If you just want to see more pictures, here'sa gallery.
