Apple's Biggest PMP Competitor: "You Can't Out-iPod the iPod"
Eli Harari, CEO of Sandisk (the world's number 2 PMP maker) recently admitted what's been obvious for years: Apple dominates the PMP market in the US so thoroughly that all other products are relegated to niche status. More »

Sansa Fuze Turns Up at Amazon
The Sansa Fuze, which we heard word of earlier, has just turned up at Amazon. The listing confirms the PMP will have a 1.9" screen, voice recording function (that works via the built-in microphone), microSD/microSDHC slot and will offer support for MP3, WMA and MPEG-4 encoded content. Retailing at $99 for a 4GB edition, the internal battery will squeeze out 24 hours of audio playback and 5 hours of video on a single charge. Checkout some more shots of the PMP below. More »

SanDisk Prepping Sansa Fuze?
SanDisk may have a new PMP on the way. An accessory bundle for something called a Sansa Fuze was spotted on maker HandStands' website earlier—currently the address redirects to generic Sansa accessories. The player pictured in the ad looks like competition for a 3G iPod nano, and will likely include 8-16GB of memory as well as video and radio playback. When we know for sure, you will too.

NBC Jumps Into SanDisk's Fanfare TV Download Service
Though you can no longer buy episodes of "The Office," "Heroes" or "30 Rock" on iTunes, you will be able to purchase them in January from SanDisk's Fanfare service. Of course, if you recall, you can't download the shows to your computer. You will have to watch them on the $100 to $150 SanDisk Sansa TakeTV, which has some sluggish controls and video quality that isn't exactly hot. I'm stoked that SanDisk scored NBC because I want to see where Fanfare can go, but this sort of bush-league alliance, forged in flagrant defiance of its former friend Apple, makes NBC-Universal look like some kind of slutty ex.

32GB ScanDisk Sansa View on the Way?
The recently released Sansa View may already in line for an upgrade if some leaked info on the ScanDisk website is anything to go by. The link revealed listings for devices with 8, 16 and 32GB capacities with the high end price topping out at $330. And since a 32GB Sansa View does not currently exist, we can only assume that one will be released sometime in the near future. Not a confirmation by any means, but if you are planning on picking up a Sansa View, you might want to wait a little longer if a higher capacity interests you. [Dapreview]

SanDisk PR Spokesperson Vows to Shave Head if Zune Is #2 This Christmas
SanDisk PR spokespeaker Carmella Lyman just promised to ZDNet Writer David Berlind that she'd shave her hair if the Zune was #2 in the portable media player market after this Christmas. According to NPD group, Microsoft's currently ranked 4th place with 3%, and SanDisk is in 2nd place with 10%. If the Zune really was going to jump to 2nd place after the holidays, as Microsoft Entertainment and Devices President Robbie Bach "declared", both Carmella Lyman and David Berlind will shave their heads. Don't pick up the clippers just yet, because it's not that straightforward.

SanDisk Reinvents 16GB Sansa View as Price-Slashed Nano Killer

SanDisk's Sansa Connect Gets $100 Price Drop
The Sansa Connect Wi-Fi-enabled player we saw earlier this year is already getting a $100 price drop down to the pretty awesome price of $149. If you remember, the 4GB player lets you share your music with strangers like the Zune does, but it also lets you download unlimited Yahoo music right from the device as well. This is a pretty darn good deal now. [News.com] -

TechCrunch managed to shoot a few pics of it, and we were right: it was built by SanDisk, so it naturally looks like the Sansa Connect, only "longer and thinner." Details are still scant: no word on storage, price, release date, or final name, but this could turn out to be a sweet little device, so stay tuned. More » -

Sansa Connect Unboxed and Touched
Whether or not it has the chops to dethrone that other player is still unknown, but one thing's certain, Sansa's new Connect is mighty slick for its diminutive size. The folks at Wired got first dibs on one of the players and despite a few setbacks (cheap plastic feel, can't sync wirelessly with a PC for non-subscription music) were overall impressed. Meanwhile over at PC World, the little player also left a good impression with no drop outs when streaming Web radio and an easy to navigate interface. Yep, looks like someone better watch their back. More »
