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.
