crackmonkey421:
Anyone have a chance to get your hands on the Sansa View?  I just broke the screen on my e200,  so I was thinking about getting the next gen sansa to replace it.  Anyone know anything about these?  Are they similar in hardware to 2nd gen nano's?

It's scary to get one and start development by myself....  there doesn't seem to be much interest here in the sansa connect and it's been out for a while.  I might just stick with the e200 series instead.

saratoga:
Theres some info for one or both players floating around around the web, but no one here has taken an interest in either.

gigman:
I have info on them.. the huge thing that may turn you off of them is the battery is non-replacable. YOU CAN NOT CHANGE IT WITHOUT BREAKING YOUR PLAYER!

besides that it is a nice unit, screen is great and even though you can not change the battery it last about 32hrs audio and 6.5 video.

Could you provide a link to your source on this please ?

ziesemer:
I can confirm that the Sansa View does NOT have a user-replaceable battery, supported by SanDisk, as with the e200.  See page 5 (7 in Acrobat) in the new user guide Sandisk just put up:  http://www.sandisk.com/sansa/assets/English/products/View/View_userguide_en.pdf

I'm not so sure aout the "can not change it without breaking your player" part, however.

As with the iPod and other players, hopefully it will still be possible, even if not officially.
