Sansa Express gets the hot pink treatment
It looks like SanDisk has deemed its pink Sansa C250 enough of a success to extend the eye-catching paint job further on down the line, with its well-received Sansa Express now also getting a refresh of its own. Apart from its new attention-grabbing ability, however, the player appears to be otherwise unchanged, with it packing the same four-line OLED display, 1GB of storage, microSD expansion slot, and FM tuner as its less colorful brethren. It also comes in at exactly the same price, setting you back $60.
SanDisk's Sansa Express takes its turn, gets reviewed
It's no secret that the Sansa lineup of music players have fared pretty well in crunch time, and according to a glowing PCMag writeup, the diminutive (and simply titled) 1GB Express is no different. While it's difficult not to draw obvious connections between this pack 'o gum sized DAP and Apple's first-generation Shuffle, the built-in OLED alone gives it a serious edge. Additionally, reviewers raved over the included niceties (you know, the FM tuner, voice recorder, and microSD expansion slot) that aren't usually found on bottom-end players. Both the clean menu navigation and pocket-friendly size were also commended, and while the "crappy earbuds," unsurprising lack of an AC adapter, and "a modest 14 hours of battery life" were looked down upon, that still wasn't enough to stop the crew from handing out a 4.5 out of 5 rating.[Via ChipChick]
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.
