SanDisk Sansa e130

"Today, we’ll be looking at the latest entry from SanDisk, a leading memory card manufacturer. SanDisk’s last MP3 player was at one point the #1 selling non-Apple player, yet had only a single digit percentage of the market share. The new Sansa is currently available in both a 512 MB version as the e130, and a 1 GB version, sold as the e140. SanDisk’s Sansa is a far better than Apple’s iPod Shuffle, as a flash mp3 player. We’ll discover what distinguishes this player from its competitors, and why it should be on your shopping list."
This does look like a nice player, but I think that the author misses the point in comparing it to the shuffle. By my calculations, this unit is over 3x the size and 2x the weight of the shuffle. To me the main attractiveness of the shuffle is the size, so it is not really an apples to apples comparison in the first place.
