Winning a 'Best Product' at CES where we assure you competition is extremely severe is no mean task for any gadget. For Sansa to win two such awards just goes to show the quality of the Sanso Connect. CNET awarded SanDisk’s Wi-Fi MP3 player first place in its “MP3 and portable video” category, while LAPTOP magazine voted it top portable audio player on the show floor.
This music player requires a Wi-Fi hotspot to begin playing. It can use any of the several subscription services on the internet to play music as well as use the streaming technology for playing internet radio. Besides the user can of course take it along on his travels without Wi-Fi access and its here that the 4GB of memory comes into play. The Sansa Connect is scheduled to be available from March in the United States with a price of $249.99 . The large display and easy navigation also helps in viewing photographs online besides scrolling through albums and playlists with just a flick of the fingers. Just goes to show that not all best sellers need to emulate Apple's strategy of adopting the click wheel.
