SanDisk Sansa View 16GB

Jonathan checks out SanDisk's View to build upon the success of its e-series players.

But price and capacity aren't the only areas where the View soundly trounces the nano - and most other MP3 players on the market, for that matter. It also has a MicroSD expansion slot for adding another gigabyte or two in the (unlikely) event that you...

SanDisk Sansa View review

It may look a bit like an Apple with its iPod-esque scroll wheel, but SanDisk's Sansa View MP3 player can't match the Big A for ergonomics or sound qu

Natural video playback ; iPlayer support ; storage is expandable

Sluggish bass and bright treble ; video is a touch noisy ; click-wheel’s a bit vague

Jack of all trades, master of none

SanDisk Sansa View 16GB review

Possibly the best iPod alternative available today

Looks and feels great ; It's a pleasure to use ; It's slim

Videp playback isn't great

This is possibly the best iPod-alternative on the market today - a real winner

SanDisk Sansa View 16GB review

Famed more for memory than MP3, SanDisk has a battle ahead. Sure, taking on Apple is always going to be tough, but even MP3's relative underachievers – Sony, Microsoft et al – have a much greater brand cachet than these data-meisters. However, SanDisk...

Stuff magazine

SanDisk's Sansa range has long been the underdog in the MP3 fight. Will the big-screen, big-storage View redress the balance?

The View is a glorious coastline blighted by rain clouds. Not perfect, but with plenty to enjoy

Expert review by : David Haskin, Computerworld (techadvisor.co.uk)

SanDisk Sansa View media player

In a world in which gadgets are getting ever-smaller, SanDisk's new Sansa View is, strangely, significantly larger than both its competitors and its own predecessor, the company's Sansa e200 line of media players.

Overall, the SanDisk Sansa View is a full-featured device with only a few shortcomings, such as its size and navigation software that could use a bit more depth. However, for many, those shortcomings will be more than offset by its sheer value. It is...

Sansa View 16GB

Looking for an alternative to the iPod? The latest device from SanDisk may have everything you need.

Its plain, flat form might not make it top dog in the style stakes, but SanDisk's Sansa View has plenty to offer exactly where it counts. The mix of audio and video playback, coupled with radio and voice-recording functions, make this a pocket-sized...
