The
SanDisk Sansa e280 is the first
8 GB Flash MP3 player in the world. Runs on a replaceable and rechargeable Lithium-ion battery (they are currently one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect and a slow loss of charge when not in use) for up to 20 hours of battery life. The Sansa e200 Series MP3 players are the flagship products of SanDisk's audio line.
If you need additional memory, the Sansa e280 has expandable memory via a MicroSD memory card slot and also supports SanDisk TrustedFlash and Gruvi content cards.
Created by the leaders in flash memory, this flash-based player provides everything you need for music, photo, and video clip playback. It is simple to use, the included Sansa Media Converter software supports most image formats to enjoy photos and small personal videos. It supports subscription music stores and provides everything you need for music, photo, and video clip playback. The user interface is easy to use and downloading music has been a breeze (I use Rhapsody).
Sansa has FM radio - the FM receiver is excellent and a welcome addition. You can enjoy superior sound playback when you take advantage of the digital FM tuner, on-the-fly FM recording, and voice recording options. Sansa has voice recorder, and can record directly from the radio.
The Sansa's 0.5" thickness is still very thin, yet it feels substantial in my hand, and more of my hand's skin is gripping it's body, which makes me feel like I'm going to hang on to it, and not drop it, like it always feels like with the iPod Nano.
The Sandisk Sansa is a very solid competitor to the iPod Nano. You get more capacity (8GB flash plus up to 2GB with the MicroSD slot), more features that the iPod doesn't have (for example: larger screen, video playback, FM tuner and recorder, voice recorder, user customizable EQ, on-the-go playlisting), for the same price.
I have been thoroughly satisfied with the Sansa e280 MP3 Player and recommend it for anyone who is looking for a flash memory player.
