Sansa e260 4GB MP3 Player

I love electronic gadgets, so natually I own a few of them, for examples, the Sansa e260 MP3 player, Sony W810i cell phone and recently a Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS...etc. Well, today I like to talk about the Sansa e260 MP3 player.

I was in the market for a mp3 player, after doing some research on the Internet and at the local electronic stores such as Circuit City & Best Buys, I decided to purchase the Sansa e260 MP3 player from Sandisk. I have heard rave review on the ipod series from Apple, but somehow I have never been the Apple product fan, just like the PCs vs the Macs, I have never own a Mac. Sorry, Apple fans, I have to admit, I am on the cheap side of spending money on electronics when there are perfectly good alternatives.

Actually I have bought & used the Sansa mp3 player for serveral months, and I must say I am very happy about it. It has all the features I expected from an mp3 player & more. It's stylish & compact. It plays music files in mp3, wma format; dispaly pictures & play videos. It also has a built-in FM tuner; you can also use it as voice recorder. It comes with 4GB of intergrated flash memory with a micro SD memory expansion slot, so there is a lot of room to store more musics & vidoes.

Where to get it:

Unfortunatly, it doesn't come with an auto charger for in car use. If you car stereo has a buit-in aux jack like I do, you can plug it in with an audio cable which you can buy from Radio Shack or other electronic stores. Or you can buy a FM trasmitter with the charger, that way, you don't have to worry about running out of battery charge on a long trip.
