SanDisk has announced capacity increases for two of its flash-based digital media players.

The Sansa Clip moves to a capacity of 4 GB from 2 GB, while the Sansa View jumps to 32 GB from a previous top capacity of 16 GB.


The new 4GB Sansa Clip, due in February with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP)of $79.99, can store 1,000 songs, runs for 15 hours on its rechargeable battery and comes in a stylish silver with a mirror finish on the front.

The Sansa View, introduced in September in capacities of 8GB and 16GB, features a 2.4-inch TFT color screen with 320x240 resolution for crisp playback of full-motion video.


Due in February at an MSRP of $349.99, the player can hold a 48 two-hour movies or 8,000 songs. The rechargeable lithium ion battery provides 35 hours of audio or 7 hours of video playback. The Sansa View has built-in support for the MPEG4, WMV and H.264 video formats.

"As a world leader in the design and production of flash memory, SanDisk continues to meet or beat the competition in raising capacities of our Sansa digital media players – giving people the freedom to carry more entertainment with them wherever they go – while maintaining prices that consumers find compelling," said Eric Bone, vice president of marketing for the Audio & Video Business Unit at SanDisk. "The 4GB Sansa Clip, for example, can store about 100 albums, giving users enough choices for any mood or situation. The 32GB Sansa View can hold an assortment of videos, so users don’t have to decide in advance which one or two digital movies or personal videos to bring with them."

The Sansa Clip and Sansa View support MP3, WMA, WAV and Audible audio books, music download and subscription services, have a built-in microphone for voice recording, FM radio, and come bundled with earphones and USB cable.

Both the Sansa Clip and the Sansa View require a computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista.
