Shuffle Gets 1/2 Priced Competition
08.27.07 - 01:08pm
The first sleek tiny matchbook sized MP3 player, Apple’s Shuffle, is now getting some new competition from their closed rivalry SansDisk.
SansDisk has announced the launch of the Sansa Clip, taking off in September, for half the price of the Shuffle yet still the same cool matchbox size with equal or greater storage.
SansDisk is offering the 1GB Sansa Clip for $40 and also a 2GB Sansa Clip for $80.
With the player comes an FM tuner with 40 presets, as well as a built in voice recorder. Flash memory. An OLED screen that will display your song, album, and genre for easy music searches. A re-chargeable batter with 15 to 30 hours of playlife. A clip, same as the Shuffle and sporting a superior sound that SansDisk said in their press release “is one of the best sounding MP3’s on the market.”
“Don’t let the Sansa Clip’s size fool you,” said Keith Washo, SanDisk retail product marketing manager for the Sansa Clip. “This tiny player packs a powerful, feature-rich punch. We’re excited to bring music lovers a new, cool-looking player with great sound and audio offerings in a body that’s smaller than a match box.”
The Sansa Clip comes in blue, pink and black.
