CES 2009 Fri Day 2 106

SanDisk used CES 2009 as the place to launch their new Sansa slotRadio player and companion line of slotRadio music cards. Priced at $99.99, the slot Radio portable music player comes bundled with a slotRadio mix card loaded with 1,000 titles handpicked from the Billboard charts.  Simply insert the card into the player, and start enjoying the titles – either a title at a time or through the built-in “handcrafted” playlists which are designed to match your style, mood, or activity.  The playlists include “Alternative”, “Contemporary”, “Country”, “R&B/Hip Hop”, “Rock”, “Workout”, and “Chillout”.

CES 2009 Fri Day 2 107 The player itself measures 1.9 x 1.9 x 0.59 inches and weighs a mere 1.3 oz. Features include a 1.5 inch OLED display perfect for viewing artist and song information, a built-in FM radio, a battery life of 13 hours, and a die-cast aluminum design with built-in belt clip. In many ways, slotRadio is a far better piece of hardware than the iPod shuffle from a specifications perspective(which lacks an FM radio, display, and support for expansion cards).

SanDisk priced the slotRadio player at $99.99 which comes with 1,000 bundled songs. You can purchase additional 1,000 song genre-specific and themed slotRadio cards for $39.99  The new slotRadio player will be coming out early this year and slotRadio cards can be played with any other slotRadio player and is also compatible with Sansa Fuze MP3 players. Here are more pictures for your viewing pleasure.
