SanDisk Express, 1GB expandable MP3 player in Shuffley form factor

SanDisk unveiled this tiny Shuffle-like MP3 player, dubbed the SanDisk Express. While it might look like an older iPod Shuffle -- weighing up at .99 inches wide x 3.09 inches long x .64 inches high -- this is no Shuffle clone. Sporting a 1.1" OLED screen, you'll actually be able to pick the song you want. And, thanks to its microSD slot, you'll be able to cram an additional 2GB in there, making that screen all the more worthwhile. Not content with just that, SanDisk has also added a built-in FM tuner, built-in voice recording, and a $60 MSRP when it launches this March.

Talk about the right price!

Is that price right?! $60 MSRP is ridiculously low for something like that, especially since retailers are sure to start selling them at a discount just a few months after release...

Guess Apple's high prices just make something like this all the more appreciated. =P

Nice. It's like the Shuffle, except it cost 25% less, has a screen, radio, voice recording, it's expandable, and it's prettier.

And it doesn't need a dock.

Looks a lot like the Samsung YP-U2J ... nothing new here. It wouldn't surprise me if Sandisk licensed it from Samsung with some minor changes.

Dang, I'm an Apple fanboy but I'll probably have to pick up one of these.

Geez... and this after I already buy my so a Philips GoGear that's giving nothing but trouble.

Glad to see more manufacturers adding direct-attach usb ports to their products... no cable is a good thing.

Looks great but no retailers yet.

Impressive - most impressive. But you are not an Shuffle-killer yet.
