Sandisk's Sansa View Pocket Video Player
"The latest addition to SanDisk’s audio/video portfolio, the Sansa View is a sleek yet simple video player that is perfect for you to enjoy your favorite movies and shows while on the go. The 8.0 GB* Sansa View is one of the slimmest on the market today at less than 17mm (0.66”) thick and boasts a large 4 inch widescreen display for optimal viewing. In addition to a DVD-quality viewing experience, the Sansa View plays photos, music and comes equipped with a flash memory expansion slot for easy playback of SD™ and SDHC™ cards, such as Disney® Max Clips™. For an immediate out-of-the-box experience, the Sansa View comes stocked with pre-loaded content such as full-length movies, short films, videos clips, photos and music from CineQuest and eMusic."
The Sansa is already one of the slicker product lines on the market. This looks like a logical progression of the product line by taking one of their flash based players that already handles videos and pairing it with a larger screen. What I find interesting is the last sentence of the above quote which states it comes preloaded with content including full-length movies. It is not clear what they mean by this, but I doubt they are truly ready to use out of the box, but rather require you to sign up for a service. I'd imagine they are just saving you the download time rather than truly providing free out of the box content. If you happen to have already picked up one of these or seen one in action, let us know what content comes with it.
