Sansa Clip+ clips the cost

Portable music players needn't be expensive... just ask SanDisk

SanDisk might not make the most aesthetically-appealing MP3 players in the world (there certainly no match for the iPod in the looks department), but as MP3 players go they’re up there with the best of them. That’s why we’re excited about the UK arrival of the SanDisk Sansa Clip.

Taking over where the SanDisk Sansa Clip left off, the Clip+ actually adds a microSD memory card slot (hence the +). It’s packed with extra features too. We’re talking about a one-inch OLED display, a voice recorder, and an FM radio with 40 presets. Like we said: talented.

Taking it to the Shuffle with its very own clip (why else would it be called the Clip+?), it’s also ideal for gym-use and the like. Not least because it also has a rechargeable battery life of 15 hours. Although, if you can exercise for 15 hours straight, then you must be some sort of super-human. Or Eddie Izzard.

The SanDisk Sans Clip+ also supports a host of formats (MP3, WMA, WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis), but the best bit is the price. It’s available in three sizes: 2GB, 4GB and 8GB costing £38, £46 and £63 respectively. Now that’s what we call a bargain!
