The Sansa line has come a long way and up against some stiff competition (iPod and Zune), but they keep going like the Energizer Bunny. The Sandisk Sansa Clip was one of the smallest music players out there and it’s still super small, but now you can put more on it. Sandisk has bumped the capacity to 8GB. That’s a lot of flash storage!

SanDisk Corporation, a leading seller of MP3 players in the United States, today announced a capacity increase for the Sansa Clip MP3 Player. One of the most popular flash-based players in SanDisk’s Sansa line of MP3 players, this tiny Sansa Clip has a new capacity point of 8 gigabytes (GB).

The new 8GB Sansa Clip can store up to 4,000 songs and runs for 15 hours on its rechargeable battery^.   

WHEN: The new, black 8GB Sansa Clip is expected to be in stores and online (www.sansa.com) in the U. S. the week of November 10^th with an MSRP of $99.99.

The matchbox-sized Sansa Clip can fit into the palm of the hand and clip onto clothing and a perfect holiday gift for people who love music on the go, including runners, walkers, or gym goers.

The Sansa Clip stands above the leading wearable music player because of its bright OLED color screen – allowing users to select the music they hear, not just wait for songs to come around at random.

The Sansa Clip boasts a long list of advanced features, including:

• Audio formats: support for MP3, WMA, WAV and Audible audio books.
• Music services: support for many music download and subscription services, including Rhapsody To Go, Napster, eMusic and others.
• Recording: built-in microphone for voice recording.
• FM radio: built-in FM tuner, with user option to create station presets.
• Accessories: earphones and USB cable.

The featherweight Sansa Clip, weighing only 0.9 ounces, comes with a clip that makes it easy to attach the device to clothing, a backpack or purse. The clip is detachable, so the device can become even smaller when the clip isn’t needed.
