SanDisk lights FUZE with new MP3 player

SanDisk’s new Sansa Fuze music player has picked up the iPod nano scent and is moving in for the kill.

Apple’s omnipresent MP3 player is under threat from this dinky slice of musical talent, which is primed to hit UK soil in sizes ranging from 2GB to 8GB, with a secret microSD card slot enabling it to stomach up to 32GB of tunes
Go large on the storage and you’re looking at around a mammoth 10,000 good quality MP3 tracks. Plus, it doesn’t just put the boot in on the musical front. See, the Sansa Fuze is a mini movie mogul too. Is that the sound of the nano’s knees knocking we can hear?

Top talents
Juiced up – For such a pint-sized player, the Fuze has impressive stamina with 24-hour juice time for music playback and five hours for video watching.

Video star – It’s not just all about the music, because the Fuze can also spin your videos on its sparkling 1.9-inch 220×176 pixel resolution display.

Music store compatible – The Fuze is pally with the likes of Napster, eMusic, Yahoo! Music and Rhapsody to Go music stores so you can playback your purchased DRM-encoded tunes.

Coming out: Late spring

Going up against
Apple iPod Nano 8GB (3rd Generation) – This achingly thin audio player still get hearts-a-fluttering while miraculously harbouring an 8GB storage unit and video playing skills in it wafer-slim figure.

Sony NWZ A818B 8GB Black – Sony’s 8GB pocket-hugging Walkman player has the stamina of ten marathon runners with a battery life of 30 hours to compliment its dynamic audio performance.

Creative Zen 8GB Black – Two features give the Zen some edge: its large bright 2.5-inch QVGA quality 16-million display for watching video and a SD card slot to ramp up the 8GB storage.
