Oh, and no DRM BS either.

Let the lines be drawn.

Go Sansa.]]>Sep 3rd 2006 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/I doubt SanDisk will ever have a hard disk player. The reason they got into mp3 players is because they are already in the flash memory business.

Personally, I'm hoping for a 60GB flash memory player. Mass production always brings down manufacturing costs and I'm sure mass production of flash memory is in full-swing by now. We just have to wait for competition to bring down what I'm sure is a huge profit margin for flash memory manufacturers.]]>Sep 3rd 2006 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/Sep 3rd 2006 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/Sep 3rd 2006 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/
the firmware is a little buggy and still needs work but I guess it'll be fixed if the player gains more popularity.]]>Sep 3rd 2006 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/

You are waiting for the 60 GB flash player? Enjoy the wait!

Point: what makes you think you will want a flash player in 24 months?

I'm thinking that a 1 TB hard drive HD video player will sound pretty cool in 2008.

Cheers!

I don't see why someone can't build an mp3 player around that. The price is a little crazy, but I think that's due to greed, not manufacturing costs.]]>Sep 3rd 2006 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/Sep 3rd 2006 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/Here's another one:

I think so, it's a pitty that they don't get together and do a "Made for everything, except iPod". Unity is all they can use to topple Apples monopoly (yes it is a monopoly, stop denying it fanboys).]]>Sep 3rd 2006 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/Sep 4th 2006 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/

This is why we need a standard connection, protocol, and interface for all MP3 players. You should be able to buy an MP3 Player accessory and have it work with any MP3 player.]]>Sep 5th 2006 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/Sep 4th 2006 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/03/sandisk-intros-made-for-sansa/
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4662217 says that it's for any MP3 player, yet under the "Compatibility" section, what does it say?

Apple Ipod.

Ridiculous. I love my Sansa.
