SanDisk has just introduced the new Sansa Connect MP3 player. It’s a well designed MP3 player with lots of features and advanced wireless technology (the most interesting part). The Wi-Fi capability lets you access Internet radio for free and the entire Yahoo! Music catalogue with a subscription (of course, you have to be in the Wi-Fi network). You can also browse Flckr’s online photo catalogue on the go.
Apart from the wireless feature, it’s a high-quality MP3 player by itself, with user-friendly interface, good audio quality and 2.2” TFT colour screen. It even offers MicroSD card expansion slot and a built-in external speaker (although I personally don’t really think a tiny external speaker helps).
There must be something imperfect about this little device. Yes, it cannot communicate wirelessly with your PC and it cannot get past certain open Wi-Fi networks' "Terms and conditions" pages. The Wi-Fi battery life is also not very impressive.
The RRP is US$249.99 (NZ$340) for the 4GB model. However, it’s not here yet. We currently have the following SanDisk Sansa models in New Zealand market, if you don’t really need the Wi-Fi function:
