SanDisk Updates Their Popular Sansa Clip.
September 6, 2009 Comments Off Monday, September 7th, 2009. Netcast 916. Happy Labor Day!
The new version is the Sansa Clip+, as in “Plus”. It has a 1.5” LCD display and it’s still small. About 2” high, 1.4 wide and .6” thin. It weighs only 0.9 oz. A nice new improvement is the addition of a memory card slot. It accepts blank microSD and microSDHC memory cards (up to 8GB) for endless recording with the built in mic or from the built-in digital FM Tuner. This new model is also slotRadio Music card-ready. That means you can buy 1,000-song albums from San Disk for about $40 each. The songs are Billboard compilations in categories like Rock, Music of the 70’s, Daily Mix, etc. These songs cannot be copied but hey, you’re paying about 4 cents per song! (See the slot music website for full details.) On a single charge San Disk says you should get about 15 hours of battery life. (There are 2, 4 & 8 GB models available.) It ships with ear buds, USB cable and owner's manual. And yes the new clip still includes a clip that lets you attach the MP3 player to a pocket, backpack or purse strap. PC and Mac compatible. The 4GB model is available at Best Buy for $49.95.
