SanDisk Acquires MusicGremlin

Do you remember the MusicGremlin, the rather cool MP3 player that enabled users to download tracks over the air? If it escapes your memory, it’s no fault of your own. The company hasn’t made much noise since the player launched a while back. But the name has resurfaced thanks to this morning’s announcement that SanDisk has bought them.

So what does this mean? SanDisk is tight-lipped on the exact details, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to speculate that MusicGremlin’s technology (and possibly its store) may find its way into a second-generation Sansa Connect or other SanDisk music player. Wireless music downloads are handy when you want new tunes when you’re away from the PC, and we’re sure that SanDisk is looking to give its base a piece of that sweet, sweet action.
