Sandisk Sansa players to get Wi-Fi sharing capability

Days after the quiet purchase of the mp3 company MusicGremlin, it has now been released on what aspect Music Gremlin will handle in the newest projects. They will bring Wi-Fi to the Sansa devices. Sansa Blog says SanDisk will fold MusicGremlin into its Sansa business unit. MusicGremlins new Wi-Fi enabled feature will allow users to share songs wirelessly between their devices and sync music from the computer wirelessly, a feature also available on the Microsoft Zune. MusicGremlin also developed a licensed music service, although it’s unclear whether or not any licenses would need to be renegotiated as a condition of the sale.

“We do intend to incorporate MusicGremlin’s technology into future products, … but cannot discuss future products that have yet to be announced,” a SanDisk spokesman said.
