SanDisk Sansa slotRadio Official Release Date & Pricing [MicroSD Card Based DAP]

Tweet

We posted back at the beginning of January concerning SanDisk’s new, Sansa microSD card based digital player, namely the SanDisk Sansa slotRadio – though we did (and we still do) question quite how appealing this device will actually prove – and now we’re just about to find out, as it’s release date has now officially been announced.

You can read more about what the SanDisk Sansa slotRadio has to offer by clicking through to our initial post as linked above but, if you’re just after a brief synopsis it comes with a 1.5″ OLED display and utilises microSD cards to store your own music collections or you can buy cards preloaded with music from certain genres from the Billboard charts should you wish – though, from what we can gather, you won’t actually be able to pick and chose your own tracks (no, you’ll get what you get, and you’ll be happy with it – or not).

We really (and I mean really) just cannot see the appeal, in any way, whatsoever – not even in a blue moon (not that it is one) and this is especially the case these days when we have become all the more selective (finely tuned, rather?) about what we buy on a track by track basis thanks to download stores such as iTunes, et al.

The SanDisk Sansa slotRadio will become available directly from Sandisk’s online portal from 31 March inclusive of a bundled microSD card crammed full of 1,000 tracks you probably won’t like at all (bonus), and it’ll be yours for just shy of $100.

Oh, and incidentally, do please let us know if you’re considering a purchase- as we’re fairly sure that the Sansa slotRadio must/might/could perhaps appeal to at least one of you and, in that event, we’d very much like to know exactly why (help us understand/see the light).
