SanDisk has long thought differently and has carved out a niche for itself with the Sansa Clip, but we want to know in our full reviewif its Clip+ sequel can topple the iP... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/20/sansa.clip.plus.reviewed/ Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/31/sandisk.sansa.clip.plus/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0908/sandisksansaclipplus.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />SanDisk launched its first new media player in over a year today with the Sansa Clip+. The major revision to its iPod shuffle competitor fits a microSDHC card slot and can use this either to expand the built-in storage or to play the company's preloaded slotMusic or slotRadio cards. It's also finally Mac-compatible and lets those users drag-and-drop music from Mac OS X Panther or later.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/31/sandisk.sansa.clip.plus/ Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/20/sandisk.slotradio.player/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/sansaplayer.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The Sansa slotRadio MP3 player from SanDisk that was first introduced at CES has been given an official release date on Friday, with the company announcing it will make the $100 player available then. Buyers will get a microSD card with the player preloaded with 1,000 popular songs from every common genre on the Billboard charts. While these files will be DRM-protected and only play on the Sansa s... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/20/sandisk.slotradio.player/ Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/04/sansa.tap.trademark.found/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/sansaintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sandisk has recently trademarked the Sansa Tap name, suggesting the company is working on a touchscreen MP3 player, according to a DAPReview report on Monday. While there is no other information to go on regarding the nature of the possible device, the existence of competition making touch-based devices, the name, and a perceived consensus on high demand for the players points to Sansa Tap as like... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/04/sansa.tap.trademark.found/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 23:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/11/sandisk.sansa.clip.8gb/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/sandisksansaclip.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />SanDisk raised the stakes in its competition against the iPod shuffle and Creative ZEN Stone with a new, 8GB version of the Sansa Clip. The capacity gives it storage for up to 2,000 songs and doubles the capacity of Creative's best ultra-small models and quadruple that of Apple's. It continues to hold the same four-line OLED display that lets it have full control over music while still rendering... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/11/sandisk.sansa.clip.8gb/ Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/10/changewave.apple.holiday/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/macbookpro2008.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's recent MacBook lineup and the iPhone may make it one of the better-positioned companies to survive a likely steep drop in spending during the holidays, according to new data from ChangeWave. The analyst firm says that a full third of all studied US notebook buyers, or 33 percent, plan to buy some form of Apple notebook during the season or within the next 90 days from the start of Novembe... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/10/changewave.apple.holiday/ Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/25/sandisk.16gb.microsdhc/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/sandiskmicrosdhc16gb.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />SanDisk today quietly confirmed the imminent launch of new capacities to its microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2) lines. Both are doubling in capacity to 16GB and are targeted at cellphones and portable players that can use the format as their only or primary source of storage. The update gives the T-Mobile G1 as much potential storage as the iPhone and Nokia N96, while SanDisk's own Sansa View... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/25/sandisk.16gb.microsdhc/ Thu, 25 Sep 2008 19:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/10/sandisk.buys.musicgremlin/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/musicgremlin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />SanDisk today said it has bought out MusicGremlin for an undisclosed amount. The deal is meant to give the Sansa player manufacturer access to the smaller company's still rare direct-download subscription service, which allows members to download an unlimited number of songs each month to the player itself via Wi-Fi rather than first transferring them to a PC. The features will have a "key role"... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/10/sandisk.buys.musicgremlin/ Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/19/sandisk.sansa.fuze.review/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/sandisksansafuze-handson.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />While many portable media players have been directly compared against one or more of Apple's iPods, few of the larger names in the industry have sought to take on Apple in a direct way. SanDisk has largely been one of these competitors until March, which has seen the company release one of its most direct challenges to the iPod to date and one of the first most obvious challengers to the third-ge... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/19/sandisk.sansa.fuze.review/ Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/13/sansa.fuze.hands.on/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/sandisksansafuze-handson.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The SanDisk Sansa Fuze is at our offices and already being prepared for a full test. In the meantime, we've already collected first impressions of the player and can already say that the current iPod nano (and Zune 4/8) may have some genuine competition. The Fuze is perhaps the most direct spin-off of the Apple design we've seen to date, but it improves on the formula: the 1.9-inch screen is onl... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/13/sansa.fuze.hands.on/ Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:30:00 GMT
