Sansa Connect: ZüNE U R B0NED

I kid, I kid. Still, this thing looks pretty awesome ... for you anti-iPod types.
SanDisk was quite a bit more accepting of our touching urges when it came to the Sansa Connect, so we got to spend a little bit of quality time with the unit. The screen was plenty bright, sharp and sizeable considering the form factor, and while the design imparts a bit of a pudgy look to the player, there's really not a lot of bulk here. We're fans of the simplistic interface, but since not a lot of the functionality was in "live" mode, it's hard to tell how effective the unit will actually be at managing all of its wireless sharing and syncing functionality.

    I have a Sansa e250 and I really enjoy it. What is this, though? I notice the friends list thing. Is it more of an online enabled mp3 player? It looks like a phone without a number pad.

    I'm a bit interested. Is the wheel an actual wheel?

    If it is anything like the one I have, yes, yes it is. It works quite well for quickly scanning through music.

    I would not name my product after a character from A Song of Ice and Fire. That's just asking for all sorts of disasters to befall what you're selling.

    I thought it was a joke at first, but every day I have more of an urge to buy a Zune just to piss Terrorbyte off. :o

    Also, this pudgy lil' guy looks neat. I'm still undecided btween about 5 different mp3 players now for the past 2 years, so.... yeah.

    It gets +2 Interest Points if the battery is replacable.

    I can open the case on my e250 and take out the battery, if that means anything to you.

    As long as I don't require power tools to open it, I reckon that's replaceable enough. There's always someone selling maching batteries online.

    Yeah, all you need is a glasses screw driver or something similar.

    Maybe they are hoping that the comkpetitors will die like most of the characters in A Song of Ice and Fire.

    I also have a Sansa e250 and love it, this looks like a really nice little device. Pity my wife would kill me if I bought it.

    Holy fuck, I must have one. It's been a long time since I wanted a particular electronic gadget so hard.

    You should seriously check out the CES junk on Engadget. It's like a gadget orgy.
