Sansa vs. the Shuffle

As we've seen in Las Vegas and elsewhere recently, SanDisk's Sansa is coming out with some of the more innovative and practical personal technologies--a combination that seems increasingly rare these days. The latest example is the "Sansa Xpress," which Chip Chick says has every reason to give the iPod Shuffle a run for its money with 1GB of memory, a 15-hour battery, built-in microphone and FM tuner. We think the best feature is its direct USB connection, but that may be because we have a thing for SanDisk's design sense (and the Xpress' $60 price tag).

Wow, I want one!

That thing is seriously sexy, and REALLY useful to boot, they've sold me already. A tiny little OLED screen on that thing AND direct USB to boot! That's quality, I'd probably replace my H140 with that little beauty for the daily to-and-from-Uni commute.

Only $60... Unbelievable. AND it has a MicroSD expansion slot! A memory card with a memory card slot 8) TOTAL geek device. :D
