SanDisk offers another iPod’s rival: Sansa e200
These asian companies are becoming a serious opponent for every manufacturer of portable players. Latest product from SanDisk called Sansa e200 is again highly inspired by iPod, but it offers more functions for lower price. The Sansa e200 player is offered in capacities of from 2 gigabytes to 6 GB, with an additional 1GB possible from the largest available microSD card from SanDisk. That allows users to expand the amount of content they can store in their players and to easily swap out music between devices with microSD slots.
Also, in contrast to a proprietary or closed system of selling music online – in which songs can be played only on designated players – the Sansa e200 supports an open platform, accepting the broadly-used MP3 and WMA music formats (downloads plus subscription). The Sansa e200s also are Microsoft PlaysForSure compliant, which means they can take advantage of numerous music service providers such as Rhapsody, Yahoo Music and Napster. This player also features a 1.8-inch TFT color screen, while a durable metal backing helps avoid scratches and cracks, a common problem with iPods. The firm is already number two on the american market, so you can expect some serious competition with Apple and other brands…
