Sandisk declares war on home wireless networks

MEMORY FIRM Sandisk reckons you don't need that Viiv stuff to watch downloaded movies on your telly.

Instead, it's selling 4GB and 8GB memory gizmos called Sansa Tate TV flash, to switch the vids to your goggle box.

The 4GB unit costs $100 and the 8GB unit $150, with the latter holding 10 hours of video, Sandisk reckons.

Said David Schreiber, a senior VP at Sandisk: "No confusing wireless network set-up, no wires running across the living room and no cumbersome burning of DVDs. Just use the Sansa TakeTV device to move your favorite video content over to your TV, and enjoy it on the big screen with family and friends."

Fighting talk, we reckon. µ
