Like Samsung, it’s clear that SanDisk has taken more than a few aesthetic cues from the nano with
the Sansa e260. However, this player matches Apple blow for blow, even though it’s more than a full ounce heavier (2.6 ounces). Coming in 2GB, 4GB, or 6GB sizes, SanDisk offers the largest capacity flash player on the market. The inclusion of a microSD Card slot pushes the storage potential even higher. With its full-color menus, durable shiny black front, and scratch-resistant Liquidmetal back, this is the most stylish nano competitor yet.
The e260 is a bit shorter than the nano, but about twice as thick, sporting a 1.8-inch color screen that is the same size as the Samsung YP-Z5’s LCD. The player improves on Apple’s features by including an FM tuner and a removable, user-replaceable battery. You also get 20 hours of playback, which is less than the YP-Z5 but more than the nano. :: LAPTOP Magazine • SanDisk Sansa e260 ::
