Sansa slotRadio to Challenge iPod Shuffle?

Posted on Feb 8, 09 10:35 PM PDT

The iPod Shuffle is extremely small, and it does serve its purpose well although you won't find it to be one of the best selling units in the iPod range for obvious reasons. SanDisk aims to make some headway in the iPod Shuffle's market share by introducing its Sansa slotRadio, a tiny MP3 player that comes pre-loaded with 1,000 songs. There is no word on whether these will be tunes you'd love to have the singles or will they be ones that you would pay SanDisk to exclude them from the device, but we do know that “SanDisk is working with Billboard to provide the music, and Akon definitely has some music on there along with many other top hit artists.” The slotRadio has the advantage of memory expansion thanks to a microSDHC memory card slot, letting you carry up to 16GB worth of tunes. The slotRadio misses out on a play button though, making us scratch our heads on this omission. Do you think the slotRadio is ready for prime time action?
