For those who remember, Music Gremlin was the first MP3 player to offer wi-fi connectivity. It was tied into a music service that allowed for the automatic download of content much like the Ibiza Rhapsody and SanDisk’s own Sansa Connect. While I don’t know about the acquisition terms and what their plans are for the integration of MG into SanDisk, but this is rather troubling to me and I question the good that will come out of this acquisition for a few reasons.
SansaLinux is port of iPodLinux for the Sandisk Sansa e200 MP3player series.
It is useable only with the original e200 series, but not with the V2 models.
Sansalinux comes with a bootloader, a 2.4 Linux-kernel, a modified podzilla2
and some podzilla-plugins. It needs no repartitioning of the Sansa-flash. It
runs directly from an ext2 loop-filesystem which is stored on the
FAT-filesystem.

The Sansa Clip is SanDisk’s newest edition to the small, low-capacity player market. Clearly aimed to compete with Apple’s Shuffle, it obviously dominates in every way except design and size. It carries itself like many of the Sansa products in design, interface, and features. What sets this Clip apart from the others is its unique form factor and surprisingly good sound quality.
Sansas have not been known for good sound quality. However, over the last few new releases they have been getting progressively better with the Clip being the best sounding Sansa to date- even treading onto audiophile territory.
