On the day Apple announced it has sold its 100 millionth Ipod since it was first introduced in November 2001, Yahoo and Sandisk have unveiled their partnership on a new contender in the mp3 player market, the Wi-Fi capable Sansa Connect. As part of the deal, Yahoo is to offer its Yahoo Music Unlimited To Go service on the Connect, allowing users to update music wirelessly from anywhere using an open Wi-Fi connection (which can also be used to listen to internet radio on the move).
The music player sports 4GB of solid state memory, expandable via a built-in microSD slot, a large 2.2” TFT color screen, and is compatible with Microsoft’s PlaysForSure DRM format.
The Sansa Connect is hitting stores today for a MSRP of $250. Full specifications and details can be found here.
