Sandisk Shows Off New Sansa Speaker Dock

By

In addition to the Sansa Car Transmitter which was announced yesterday, Sandisk today unveiled plans for a portable sound system for their Sansa digital audio players. The Sansa Speaker Dock will be available in coming weeks for $79.99.

The Sansa Speaker Dock, Sandisk said, is a one piece system containing four full range speakers and an amplifier with volume controls. The Sansa digital audio player is slid into a recessed docking station and an attached connector cable is inserted into it. It runs off of an AC adapter or four AA batteries, can be connected to other audio devices and has a USB cable connection so that music and data can be transferred to a Sansa player when it is docked.

“Now that we have established SanDisk as a major supplier of flash-based MP3 players, we believe that offering quality, value-priced accessories adds to the versatility of the Sansa line, giving consumers more options to use their players,” said Wes Brewer, SanDisk’s vice president of retail product marketing. “Enhancements such as the Sansa Speaker Dock will help drive sales for the players and enable retailers to offer attractive packages with different combinations of players and accessories.”

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation
Demonstration of NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."
