ipod nano competitor

50 bucks less for 4gigs. no colour screen but has additional other features.

"Today, Sandisk announced thier own 4gb player, the Sansa m200, and they've even managed to beat the nano on price. The 4-gig model with retail for $ 200, versus $ 250 for the 4gb nano, which is already considered a bargain for a player of this type. How is it possible?

it has some key advantages over the nano, including WMA 10 DRM support (works with subscription services like Napster and Yahoo Unlimited), FM radio, a voice recorder, and it runs on a standard AAA battery for up to 19 hours. It sounds like a great deal for $ 200, and we're pretty sure that the m200 won't scratch as easily as the iPod nano (just a guess, heh)."

Looks like an okay option. I'll stick to nano though :)

It's not that bad looking. I like the extra features it has, but like timman I still prefer the look of the nano with it's color screen.

It's ugly as hell compared to the Nano.

Sorry, but Apple wins this round, even with a fragile as hell player.

And the iRiver U10 rapes everything. Too bad the initial one is only 1GB. I hope they make them bigger than that, because that thing rocks my socks off.

I played with one at Cebit, and while it's cool, it smudges more than a Nano. Also, after about 10 minutes, I wanted my buttons back. If you want a PMP, wait for the iAudio U2.
