Ipod Nano Sansa E280
Wednesday, 18-October-2006, 06:12:16
The world of portable music doesn?t begin and end with iPods. There are other choices. Take SanDisk?s sansa MP3 players. They don?t have to sync with iTunes and aren?t limited to playing Apple-centric files. Instead, sansas play music and video files, store photos (so far, just like an iPod) and also handle voice recordings. Plus, the sansa lets you listen to, and record, FM radio broadcasts. (1385 clicks)

Wednesday, 13-September-2006, 01:11:25
Compared to the iPod Nano, the Creative Zen Neeon 2 is a bit cheaper and a bit fatter, but carries a larger screen and uses their old scrollwheel design. From personal experience, I can say Creative's scrollwheels suck elephant titties compared to the iPod clickwheel or any other control device. Some people apparently enjoy it, which doesn't tell us much since some people enjoy getting a stiletto heel to the balls as well. (967 clicks)
