SanDisk Sansa TakeTV 4GB
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 PM
"SanDisk is already well known for their flash memory products and MP3 players, so it's no wonder that they would enter into an important but relatively docile sector of the consumer entertainment industry - digital video for the TV. Apple hit the ground running with the Apple TV, but SanDisk's new entry - the Sansa TakeTV - will challenge big red’s product. Despite fewer features than Apple TV, the TakeTV may win quite a few converts because of simplicity and price. We gave the TakeTV a thorough testing and have a full report for you. Read on to see if the TakeTV is something you'll want to use at home."
I am amazed by the size and usability of this device, I guess SanDisk is one of the first few companies that has produced a product that I can say gives Apple a run for its money when it comes to the device building itself. And being that it is plug-n-play, it will appeal to a larger segment of the market. But they don't have HD support so clearly they are targeting the non-videophile market which I am betting is far larger than the videophiles segment. I look forward to the TakeTV 2.
