Fuze: The Next Generation Music Player

Listening to music is not only a hobby but also a way to get relief from stress after a long day of hard work. People are going crazy for music and handy portable devices where they can store their favorite music and listen to their chosen tracks whenever they want. The mini MP3 and MP4 players are getting popular day by day and they are selling like hot cakes in the market.  Fuze: The Next Generation Music Player

After immense success of the iPod Nano, SanDisk has launched another revolutionary product in the market. They call it Sansa Fuze. This machine has a cool micro look with digital LCD and powerful headphones. It can play both MP3 and MP4 format. The cute getup of new Fuze has made it popular among girls. The physical AI of Fuze has a front dial which rotates and have four buttons for navigation and a dedicated center button to select. Resolution of the display is 220 X 176 which is good enough to see videos. One can store a whole movie in the memory of the Fuze but watching it on such a mini display is not at all a very good idea.

SanDisk has added few new features in Fuze which attracts the buyers.

  • A powerful microphone is inbuilt with the product
  • Fuze has FM radio option
  • A proper micro SD slot enables expansion of memory
  • Drag and drop file transfer features without any software installation

Few negative sides of Fuze are:

  • A proper USB cable comes together with the product, however there is no mini USB charging facilities
  • Videos can be bookmarked but not the audio files
  • No preferences can be set in Fuze.

There are three varieties of the product. It comes with 2GB, 4GB and 8GB memory options. The price is a bit high; however, one can afford that much for a next generation gadget like Fuze.
