SanDisk is all about SlotMusic these days. SlotMusic is the concept of pre-loaded microSD cards where your music can be played on MP3 players, mobile phones and PDAs. Complete interoperability and mobility with SlotMusic.
To soften the blow and increase adoption of the SlotMusic concept, SanDisk is offer a very inexpensive MP3 player at just $19.99. The SlotMusic player may also be purchased with pre-loaded microSD cards for a total price of $39.99. This price point gives a significant advantage of the iPod Shuffle as you get device and music for the same price of just the Shuffle hardware.
SanDisk put together a great demo presentation about the SlotMusic concept and I highly recommend checking out the link.
Now that we see music making the shift to pre-loaded mircoSD cards, the concept of a microSD duplicator makes a bit more sense doesn’t it?
With the backing of SanDisk and it being one of the largest flash memory retailers in the world, they have the channel and connections to make SlotMusic a success. It will be interesting to see what artists jump on the wagon and explore the digital distribution of music via microSD cards.
