Sansa coming out with 32GB "View" model?

hopefully they have better looking screen this time...i bought my son the 2 Gig version last xmas....very poor screen display on that one...compared to my iClix by iRiver.

why is this being compared to the ipod touch?

you can get an ipod classic which is still better than this thing for almost the same price and it comes with 160 gigs which is 5 times the memory.

the ipod touch is 70 bucks more yes.. but it also has a touch screen.

That's not quite a fair comparison either, because a 160GB player is going to be using a hard drive - which, while far cheaper than flash memory of the same capacity, is bulkier and consumes more power than flash memory. As far as flash-based players go, this is a pretty good deal.

Not a bad lil rival to the Ipod collection and its alot cheaper i would not mind trying this one out.

I've also tried the 2GB version. (Returned it the same day)

The select-wheel has a extremely cheap feel. Plus, the screen isn't big enough to watch any sort of video.

I own two sansa's and find they are a very good mp3 player. I am disappointed in the video aspect. Video and audio syncing is terrible.
called tech support and was told video clips longer then 10 minutes are a problem.
The View is suppose to correct this, plus it supports sdhc memory. also you can play video from the sd card.

I'd be curious to check one out. If it has some of the cheapy feel to it as some of the lesser ones i've dealt with, it would be a no go. But that's a pretty decent price. I might check it out.

Eat your heart out Zune.
