SanDisk Sansa e100 Flash
Memory MP3 Player with SD Card Expansion
(press release)
SanDisk Ships New Flash-Based MP3 Players with Bundled Software Solutions for
Diverse Content Beyond Personal Music Library
New SanDisk Sansa Players Features SRS WOW Technology for High-Quality 3D Sound;
Includes Software for Music Management and Content Services, Digital Radio and
Digital Audiobooks
SanDisk(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) today announced the availability of its new
SanDisk Sansa(TM) e100 series of small, portable digital music players at select
national retailers. The new line of MP3 players use embedded flash memory to
store many hours of digital music and includes an SD card slot for additional
storage capacity. The Sansa e100 line features SRS(TM) WOW(TM) technology, an
audio enhancement solution for rich, immersive sound quality, and includes
software for music management and content downloads, digital radio and audiobook
services for wide range of listening options.
"In addition to providing high-quality sound, expandable storage capacity and a
refreshing design, we want our listeners to have access to a broad range of
listening content," said Eric Bone, director of retail product marketing at
SanDisk. "To do this, we have partnered with several software companies that
provide a broad range of music content, commercial-free radio streams and access
to 'spoken word' content like books or magazines."
SRS WOW is a 3D audio enhancement technology that improves the quality of any
audio file played on the players in the Sansa e100 line. Specially designed for
portable audio devices, WOW improves the delivery of 3D stereo audio separation
and the creation of deep, powerful bass for music played over the Sansa's
high-quality, in-ear headphones.
The Sansa e100 line includes software from the following partners:
-- Rhapsody(TM) offers a simple way to enjoy digital music online with unlimited
access to a vast library of more than 850,000 full-length songs and 65,000
albums. Rhapsody subscribers have the ability to easily purchase their favorite
tunes for 79 cents per song, create their own commercial-free Internet radio
stations, enjoy professionally programmed genre-specific stations, browse
extensive music information and review editorial recommendations.
-- AudioFeast(TM) is the easiest way to keep your SanDisk Sansa player filled
with today's best music, news, sports, and entertainment programs. The
commercial-free digital radio service offers a blend of over 400 programs that
is sure to quench anyone's audio appetite with over 100 channels dedicated to
music alone. SanDisk Sansa customers get to try it for 60 days free of charge
and then pay as low as $3.99 a month thereafter.
-- Audible(R) for digital audiobooks, radio programs, audio magazines and
newspapers that can be easily downloaded. The service features more than 18,000
audio titles to choose from and is ideal for those times when listening to
publications is more convenient than reading them.
Initially available in 512-megabyte (MB) and 1-gigabyte (GB)(1) capacities, the
SanDisk Sansa players can store hundreds of songs and play up to 17 continuous
hours on a single AAA battery. The new players feature an SD(TM) card slot to
conveniently add more storage capacity, which can be significant since SanDisk
and other companies have recently announced SD cards up to 2GB in capacity.
The new players are designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of popular
music formats such as MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) in both unprotected and
protected files (such as those WMA files purchased from music service provider
sites).
The SanDisk Sansa music players include improved stereo headphones, carrying
case with armband, USB 2.0 cable, AAA Battery and Install CD with value-added
software. For added flexibility, they can be used as a USB storage device.
Furthermore, the new industrial design was created with future accessory options
in mind.
Additional features include:
-- SD card slot for additional storage and convenient music transfer
-- Hi-Speed USB 2.0 for fast music transfer speeds
-- Support for MP3, WMA (both secure and unsecure) and Audible audio files
-- Up to 17 hours of continuous playback on a single AAA battery(2)
-- Digital FM radio with 20-presets
-- Multi-line backlit LCD that displays album, artist and song title
information.
