According to a company spokesman, SanDisk has decided to put its Sansa View on hold. The company would like to "re-scope" the device which would have been SanDisk's first media player that focused more on video support than music support.
The hold is indefinite but the company reaffirmed its commitment to the player and hopes to release the player when the timing is right.
"The market is changing fast and furious and we want to shift our efforts to develop a [portable media player] that will meet the needs of the market versus pushing out the wrong product," the spokesperson said. "So we're taking another look."
The View would have been the first explicitly HD-capable media players on the market, a player capable of displaying 1080i HD video through TV output. It would have also offered added storage through an SDHC card slot with support for 4GB or more.
