Sunnyvale, Calif. - SanDisk, a maker of flash memory storage products used in consumer electronics -- including Apple's iPod Nano -- on Tuesday introduced its own line of portable MP3 players. The Sansa m200 series includes models in 512MB ($79), 1GB ($119), 2GB ($159) and 4GB ($199) capacities. The devices, which are compatible with Microsoft-supported portable subscription services from Napster, Yahoo and RealNetworks, are slated to ship in November. RealNetworks said it will offer an $80 rebate on the devices -- essentially giving users the $79 model for free -- when they sign up for a six-month subscription to Rhapsody.
