Here's a value example based on current prices at Newegg
iPod Nano (8GB) - $125
Sansa Clip Zip (4GB) - $39 ($5 off sale for black ones today)
Micro SD chips 32 GB - $19 (class 4, way fast enough for music, free shipping) x 4 chips (128 GB storage)
Zipper holder capable of holding 16 SD chips - $8 at Amazon
Total cost for Sansa $39 + $76 (4x$19) + $8 = $123
Get player + extra memory (total 132 GB - 128 + 4) + plus card case.
Total cost for iPod Nano = $125
Get player + 8GB memory.
When gadget dies, have left for other use.
Sansa - 4 Micro SD chips (128GB) + zipper SD case
iPod Nano - nothing.
And most of us on this thread consider the Sansa better as a music player, head to head and ignoring the costs involved.
Cheaper to start, more when you're done, and better along the way? That's why we're serious fans of Sansa...But it has all the style of a runover piece of toast...
