Sadly, I believe we’ve seen the last new mp3 player from SanDisk. The entire industry is moving on, SanDisk included.
Personally, I have no reason to believe that; SanDisk is making a nice profit from its players (it’s still selling the Clip+, even), and many people don’t have or use a cellphone for music and other audio playback (size issues/sound and feature issues/battery issues, or just not using a cellphone). Likewise, I don’t see digital cameras going away. Just my personal opinion. (And if I recall, that small Apple company still sells a bunch of varieties of audio players 
and as we know, Apple don’t do nothin’ without making a nifty profit.)
