Hot on the heels of the Creative Zen, Sandisk has announced its latest MP3 player, the Clip. We really dig these simple, easy to remember names and this looks like another quality MP3 player from Sandisk. It looks like Sandisk is also taking on the two heavy weights in the MP3 player market, as the Clip goes up against the iPod Shuffle and the Creative Stone. It's definitely not a lot bigger in terms of physical size, but it's quite feature packed none the less.

The Clip will be available in two sizes, 1 or 2GB. The 1GB model will only be available in black, while the 2GB model also comes in blue, pink and red. The 1GB model retails for a mere US$39.99 and the 2GB model is $59.99. Supported music formats are MP3, WMA (with and without DRM) and Audible audio books.

Sandisk has managed to squeeze in a rather small OLED display as well as an FM radio with 40 presets and a voice recorder. Sandisk claims up to 15h of play time, although the radio should last longer. The Clip connects to your PC via USB 2.0 and the player has a mini USB port on its side. It is supplied with a belt clip, a USB 2.0 cable and a pair of headphones.
