SanDisk has unveiled the largest capacity flash-based MP3 player, the 8 GB Sansa e280 that features audio, photo viewing and video clip playback capabilities. Priced at $249.99, the e280 is the latest evolution of SanDisk’s flagship e200 series.

The 8 GB device sports a microSD expansion slot allowing expansion to 10 GB, with an optional SanDisk 2GB microSD card, making it the largest capacity flash-based MP3 player in the market.

SanDisk has also lowered its prices on the entire Sansa e200 line of products, including the existing 2, 4 and 6 GB models. Current pricing on the Sansa e200 product line includes a 2 GB flash-based player for under $140.

The Sansa e200 series players support Microsoft PlaysForSure and are designed to work seamlessly with popular music formats such as MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) in both unprotected and protected files (such as those WMA files purchased from music stores).
