Today we introduce a new MP3 player--SanDisk Intros 32GB Flash MP3 Player.

But SanDisk is announcing a new standard called USBTV that's based on just that practice. We're still trying to get our heads around the announcement, but it sounds like USBTV is for anyone who doesn't want to deal with connecting up and streaming over a wireless network. Basically you connect up a flash-based, USBTV-enabled media MP3 player to your PC via USB, automatically copy over your content, and then physically shuttle the device to a cradle connected to your TV. Honestly doesn't sound much different than using an iPod with a video dock connected to your TV, but no matter, SanDisk says they've already talking to LG, Mitsubishi, and Pioneer about incorporating USBTV ports directly into their TVs and are showing off a prototype device that they're confusingly describing as a Digital Flash DVD MP3 Player.

It's good to be a maker of flash media when you sell an MP3 player, because your portables get all the new high-end memory cards and chips first. SanDisk announced that they have bumped the capacity of two of their players, lead by the 32GB Sansa View, which is officially the first 32GB flash portable to be announced. Priced at $349 the SanDisk Sansa View 32GB will ship to retail stores next month.

Meanwhile, SanDisk has also increased the capacity of the Sansa Clip to 4GB MP3 player and adds a polished mirror finish. SanDisk keeps the price at a nice iPod Shuffle busting $79. SanDisk also announced the release of a 12GB microSDHC card for those who just don't have enough memory on their mobile devices.
