If Apple’s not pedaling the audio/video gadget crack you’re into then Sandisk would like a moment of your time.
Hot on the heels of Apple’s iTouch and the new beefed up and colourful nanos, SanDisk has introduced a shiny new Sansa View video MP3 player. This is a complete revamp from the original Sansa View, which sported a widescreen display but was a lot chunkier.
The company points out that this is an MP3 player first but that doesn’t detract from the 2.4in, 320x240 pixel display and native support for video formats like MPEG4, WMV and H.264. Other formats, like DivX, can be converted by the bundled Sansa converter.
Battery life is claimed as 7 hours for video and 35 hours for audio. At 0.35in thin, it's also very skinny, as you can see from the pencil shot after the jump.
Available in 8GB and 16GB flavours the Sansa View’s US pricing – all there is right now – is $149 and $199, respectively – which is the same price as a 4GB and 8GB nano.-Martin Lynch
