SanDisk Sansa Express ‘the most functional kid on the block’

SanDisk’s Sansa Express has been described in a group test of flash mp3 players as the "most affordable and functional kid on the block".

According to Connie Iozzino of PC Magazine, the device works well as a system created to undercut the price of the iPod shuffle and provide a number of useful features.

Other devices highlighted as the most cost-effective flash mp3 players on the market include Samsung’s YP-U3, Creative’s Zen device and SanDisk’s Sansa View.

Discussing the latter, Ms Iozzino said that while its graphics and size were not too impressive, the View "earn points back" for its expandibility and affordability.

She added that its 2.4-inch screen was "perfect for quick photo and video viewing".

Audio News.co.uk recently reported that Mitashi has launched a new mp3 player.

The electronics company’s new MNEC device includes 1GB of storage space and is controlled via two touch-sensitive control buttons, which can be used to both skip tracks and control the volume.
