That's the bit I'm extremely dubious about too.

gigman:
sorry for not providing a link as I am not sure what site it was, I just googled for info a while back and on a thread one person said they contacted Sandisk tech support and they said that you can not replace the battery and sandisk does not have a repair faculty so you have to have it replaced at a third party repaird shop that does views

Bagder:
As a general rule: don't believe what unknown people say on random web sites. Or at least take the info with large amounts of doubts.

As soon as we get some nice scans/photos of the Sansa View's internals I think we should all be capable of seeing if that statement holds any truth or not.

Interesting that someone actually bought one while Amazon.com shows an expected delivery data of December 1.  Maybe they had some problems with the initial shipment and closed the pipeline for a while.

Seems there IS a hack to get into UMS mode by selecting hold, then pressing the left button until UMS is entered.  

I'd like to see some photos of the View.  How hard is it to open?  If it's like the C100 series forget changing the battery!  Hopefully the back is screwed on.  

If someone starts a porting effort on this one I might buy one and at least help with testing as the port progresses.  I had an E270 but sold it after buying a Gigabeat F40, and I also have an iPod mini.  (the E270 was too small!)  The View looks like it's large enough for fumble fingers.  (I wonder if Sandisk has something like the iPod touch in the works.  A fusion of the sansa connect and the View maybe?)

But someone has to buy one, open it up, and start doing some chip and part identification. I'd certainly go in for it, but my budget doesn't really allow it. Plus, I'm still trying to work on the Dell DJ I have now.

It would be interesting to see if SanDisk still uses PP chips, or if the went the same way as Apple did with the newer iPods and used totally new chipsets.
