SanDisk Sansa View (16GB)

Pros: Radio tuner, Micro SD expansion, navagation wheel, screen, battery life, recognized as a drive letter and folder structure.

Cons: I found it hard to believe the case had a noticable gap, and it is not that it was not properly pressed, as no amount of gentle manipulation will get it to seal. I think this is what has most people worked up. I also got several "bad track" notices.

Summary: Some of the disgruntled 1 star ratings are laughable and wreak of moronic Global Warming hyperbole/lie. People pay $150 for a toy and want it to paint their houses. This is a fantastic device for the money (I just purchased the 32Gb version), and aside from the case design and import problems, I could not be happier. Yes, it could have been better built, and yes they could have worked out the import issues before release, but that has been resolved with the FREE patch.

We all want the best for the cheapest, and we want it now, but freak out when the first revision is not exactly perfect. Give me a break. Everyone tries to compare all MP3 players to the Apple product line, but they are not comparing apples. Apple locks their devices out from their owners, and tags all imported MP3's or AAC's thusly corrupting the file for proprietary use. Apple does not have and never will have a tuner. Apple does not and again, will never have memory expansion. I use a MacBook Pro 15.4 and a 24" iMac, but I am not ignorant enough to portray Apple as the end all do all, and yes both have done time away from home at the Genius Bar for repairs. Please go back and remember that Sony was the first in this market, Apple just improved on what was there at the time. If you relegate yourself to the belief that ONLY APPLE OR DEATH model, please choose death.

Ps. A $4 protective housing not only closes the case, but protects it from simple morons.
