The newest in the ever growing range of Sandisk MP3 players is the Fuze. It has been around for a few days now and has been given the review treatment by AnythingButiPod. What did they think? They said “across the board there are plenty of other improvements in screen quality, build quality, and sound quality” and “overall I’m pretty positive on it and can easily say it is the best Sansa to date”. Good news for Sandisk and great news for people who wanted a bigger Sansa Clip.

It is interesting to see SD cards catch up to their much larger brother the CF card. Sandisk have put down the hard facts on the upcoming Ultra II 32GB SD card. It will be available in the 3rd quarter of this year and will sell for $US350.
They will also release a 8GB and 16GB card in the new series, which will offer a 50-66% potential increase in performance over the last generation. The prices of the other cards will be $US100 for the 8GB and $US180 for the 16GB.

I didn’t make the review, but the great people over at AnythingButiPod did. As a bonus it is a video review. If you are thinking about buying a Sansa View any time soon, I would definitely check it out.

Right after the news of Sony and the larger memory stick, Sandisk didn’t waste to much time announcing their massive MicroSD card. The card will be 12GB being a concept product (not exactly a unique design), which will see an upgrade in June to 16GB making it the largest MicroSD card around. I’m going to put one of my kidneys on Ebay now, so I can afford one.

I like to give you guys a heads up on reviews, especially seeing I recommend reading even the worst of reviews before buying any new toy. Below is a list of all the reviews I have stock piled this week, with a exert from each.
- First up we have the Samsung YP-T10 Review by the guys over at AnythingButiPod. They believed “the T10 is a good player with a really nice line up of features” and “may not be for everyone”. Not bad for a Nano clone.
- Mobility Site did a massive, gigantic, monstrous review of the interesting HTC Advantage X7501. There are a ton of images and the conclusion they came to was “for business users wanting a powerful mobile device for staying connected with the office and still be able to maintain phone connectivity, or mobile tech enthusiasts wanting a top-of-the-line Windows Mobile device, this would be an excellent unit”. I still prefer a true UMPC.
- Pocketables have done a great review on the new OQO Model 02, which is a tiny little UMPC. They said “the Model 02 is an amazing upgrade to previous models and definitely steps up and delivers on all of its pre-release promises” and only really didn’t like the fact that there was no stylus included in the non Windows XP Tablet edition models and the crappy battery life. The article may contain trace amounts of poetry.
- AnythingButiPod did it again with a great review of the Archos 605 Wi-Fi. They said “605 could be ‘the ultimate PMP’, but it needs a complete overhaul of the interface, making it more usable to the average consumer” and “definitely much less user friendly than what is on the market, but that said, it will make a very nice match for the portable video enthusiast”. Sounds like I’m waiting for the next generation.
- AnythingButiPod have too much time on their hands and have reviewed the SanDisk Clip, which is like a Shuffle, but with a little screen. They liked it saying “its price of $40 and $60 MSRP I can easily recommend this to beginners as well as seasoned MP3 player users as a spare” and “the Clip has found a permanent home in my gearbag”. What happened to the all rounder?
- Lastly we have a review of the Fujifilm’s FinePix S8000FD digital camera by the grand people at Photography Blog. They said “the Finepix S8000fd represents Fujifilm’s best attempt yet to fuse the advantages of compact and DSLR cameras together, rivaling the latest entry-level DSLRs” and “the Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd is therefore both our current ultra-zoom camera of choice, and a viable alternative to a DSLR camera”. Fujifilm have done it again.
Remember to thank these guys for taking their time to write these amazing reviews for you guys and girls.
