Hands on with the Sansa View

You've already got the lowdown on specs, but here's the new Sansa View up close and personal. Shiny, thin and well-screened? Check, check and check. They wouldn't let us touch 'em, though, which was lame. Whatever, SanDisk, you're not invited to our birthday party -- so there! Keep reading for some more shots.

UPDATE: Alright, birthday plans are back on. We finally got a hold of the View for some actual "hands on" pics, and it really is a looker -- though with all the slim going on here, we're still not sure we could squeeze this thing into a jeans pocket. Also, the software is way early on this thing, so don't figure these funky screen shots will have much to do with how the final interface will look like. With that said, check out our new pics after the break.

A bit washed out, but that sign says "Please do not touch." At least they ask so nicely.








Like we said, have no fear: this ain't near final.

They wouldn't let you touch it? That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. How can a company bring a portable consumer product to a trade show and then tell you that its hands off? That aside - it looks pretty nice.

I know it's a prototype UI but isn't the 'extras' icon from the main menu lifted straight from Mac OS X?

Any body else tired of Piano Black? I finally got rid of my Greasy Finger Print encrusted PSP, can we can the hi gloss stuff Please ???

My next PMP is a toss up between this and the iriver U10. Both are pretty compelling, but the iriver has that urban gps going for it.

[Lucas Dailey @ May 25th 2007 8:43AM]

any idea when this is ACTUALLY coming out?

[SansaFTW @ Aug 29th 2007 11:05AM]

Get this archived or something. This player was never released and the new one with the same name is about to come out. You're confusing people.
