If you’re asking yourself, “That’s all that makes these… → Read More

Remember the the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium, that sweet, if not dated, little flash drive that’s made from—wait for it—titanium? Well it’s back and now it’s colored gold and has a plus behind it’s name. While those two revisions are indeed massive, it also carries with it a significant update to SanDisk’s line of flash devices. The Titanium Plus includes with… → Read More
After the fallout between NBC and Apple earlier this year, I wondered what was going to happen with NBC’s bevy of hot content. You can’t tell me Chuck, Heroes, The Office and Life aren’t good shows. I like to torrent said shows on occasion if I miss an episode, but that becomes tedious at times and a pain in the butt if I download the wrong one. Yes, I know that I can watch them… → Read More

We normally wouldn’t bore you with USB flash drives, CF and SD cards, but being the MotoGP and Ducati fan that I am you’re just going to have to deal with it. SanDisk is getting tons of exposure on a global stage by being one of Ducati’s Corse MotoGP team sponsors and it doesn’t hurt that Casey Stoner is currently ranked #1. → Read More
Einstein said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” Few companies in the MP3 player business grasp this important principle, and it continues to bite them in the assets. iRiver and SanDisk are feverishly trying to keep up the pace of feature bloat, while Archos and Creative are increasingly focusing on video players. Meanwhile, Sony is getting ready to… → Read More

Neither company… → Read More

If you bought a specially-marked package, you could win a solid gold version of your card. Incredibly exciting, I know. Totally beats… → Read More
I’ve been a Bellsouth DSL subscriber for about 10 years now. It has at times been a tumultuous relationship. In the beginning I gamed quite a bit and there were issues, but after a year of complaining everything balanced out. It’s been great since then. Over the years I’ve upgraded consistently to the highest package available. I currently subscribe to the DSL Xtreme 6.0 package. → Read More

I’m not the type to use my mobile phone for media purposes because the software programs just suck. I’ve never used the MP3 player on my SK3 and my Nokia 5300 hasn’t even seen the light of day. The lack of memory is the main reason why I don’t use such features, but the SanDisk 4GB Memory Stick Micro line just might change my tune. While it’s geared towards the Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot… → Read More
