Sandisk Guns for Ipod Nano with an 8GB Sansa

SanDisk is reported to be ready to soon reveal product updates and price reductions in another attempt to wean away more prospective customers of Apple’s iPod. According media reports (Wallstreet Journal and Reuters Canada) , SanDisk, will launch a MP3 player called the Sansa priced at $249.99. It will offer 8 gigabytes of memory, which is enough to store 2,000 songs, which is almost double the capacity of the similarly-priced Apple’s iPod Nano but falls far short of the 30GB Ipod Video that is only 50 dollars more.
SanDisk also intends to cut down prices of its other music players by as much as 30 per cent, according to source reports. So far there is no official confirmation from the company on any of this. The report quoted the company’s chief executive officer Eli Hariri as saying he wants the company to be clearly positioned as No 2 in the market and distance itself from competitors like Creative, Samsung and Sony.
