SanDisk just released a firmware update for the Sansa Fuze — pretty minor, except it adds in support for FLAC and Ogg, which should make fans of jam bands and lossless music encoding extremely happy. Nothing much else of note here apart from some UI tweaks and big fixes, but Fuze owners will be appreciative, we’re sure.

Sure, it doesn’t look like much thanks to the FCC’s staunch aversion to photo glam, but that’s iriver’s Spinn PMP, a product which had us at a full, rigid swoon back at CES. While this would generally be good news, the model approved features a DAB radio and DMB television tuner — in other words, it’s not intended for US consumption. The user manual also confirms a FM radio, Mini SD slot, Bluetooth, D-Click System interface, 27 hours of audio and 5 hours of video, and support for SWF (Flash), TXT, MP3, WMA, OGG, JPG, AVI, MWV file formats. With FCC approval out of the way, the rumored UK August release date is presumably in the bag.

In October 2006, Sharp’s 4.3-inch SP700 full-screen, touch-sensitive media player was considered quite the looker. Funny how brickley this chunker can appear just one year later at its time of release. Still, those students looking for a decent list of supported codecs — DivX, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV7/8/9, H.264, OGG, MP3, WAV, and WMA to name a few — along with a T-DMB television receiver and full suite of electronic dictionaries should still feel a slight tickle to their scholarly fancy. The Windows CE 5.0 device rides atop a 30GB disk and offers SD/MMC expansion and USB Host capabilities for quick, PC-less transfer of data directly to the device. Ready for the price? Yours for ₩478,000 sweetheart or about $521 if you’re real nice to daddy.
