SanDisk Sansa Connect: first preview

SanDisk's Wi-Fi-enabled Sansa Connect is the first significant rethinking of the portable media player - and the way we acquire digital media - since the introduction of Apple's iPod and the iTunes online media store several years back.

Sansa Connect is a significant step forward in terms of usability and access to digital music and images, for now surpassing even the vaunted iPod to become the most fun and flexible media player we've seen. It also provides a strong glimpse into the...

SanDisk Sansa Connect: part II

The Sansa Connect device itself is made of basic black plastic, which feels a bit flimsy and certainly isn't as sexy as Apple's iPod. At 2in wide and 3.5in high, plus a small stub antenna on top, the Connect is significantly larger than similarly...

When MP3 Goes Wireless- Sandisk Sansa Connect

It seems so obvious to us but it's taken years for a mainstream MP3 player manufacturer to produce an MP3 player with inbuilt WiFi. At last Sandisk have delivered what the Microsoft Zune promised and the iPod still lacks.

Expert Review

Is the wireless worth it? At $150 for a 4GB player, the Sansa Connect isn't cheap. But with a MicroSD slot included for expansion, and the ability to pull down songs from any location that has an open access point, the device's lack of storage isn't a...

Downloads songs over Wi-Fi, nice colour screen

Slightly sluggish interface, expensive

SanDisk Sansa Connect MP3 Player

Announced at CES earlier this year, SanDisk's Wi-Fi-equipped MP3 player has arrived, and I've been playing around with it for a while now. The first thing that struck me about this 4GB player is that its Wi-Fi capabilities are actually useful. The...

SanDisk Sansa Connect review

SanDisk Sansa Connect

The SanDisk Sansa Connect has a high-quality design, a lovely, user-friendly interface, and good audio quality; it offers desirable features such as a MicroSD card expansion slot and a built-in external speaker for sharing tunes. The Connect is also...

The Connect cannot communicate wirelessly with your PC; it also can't get past certain open Wi-Fi networks' "Terms and conditions" pages (yet), and a few private networks may cause issues. The observed Wi-Fi battery life is not impressive.

The Sansa Connect is a nicely designed player with desirable features and advanced wireless technology, making it a great choice for early adopters and Yahoo Music Unlimited subscribers. With a bit of tweaking to the integrated Wi-Fi, this device could...

SanDisk's networked wonder does a fine job of wedding Wi-Fi capabilities to a solid MP3 player.

SanDisk Sansa Connect 4GB

Microsoft's idea of letting people share their favorite songs using a wireless connection was as botched in execution as it was brilliant in conception. SanDisk's Sansa Connect makes much more sense, although it requires users who want to share to...

Wireless networking, Internet radio, great user interface

Limited codec support, no support for lossless formats

Although the Sansa Connect sounds very good, we do wish SanDisk hadn’t limited the player to just MP3, WMA, and secure WMA audio formats at maximum bitrates of 320Kb/s VBR. We find ourselves increasingly enamored with the pristine quality of losslessly...
