I once had a iPod nano (2gb)(despite I hated the iTunes), but I wanted to get a mp3 with more space... And btw, I'm not some sort of iPod fanboy/hater..I'm not the kind of person that would buy or not buy something, because it was made by a certain firm. All I'm iterested in when buying...are the facts. So originaly I wanted to buy the 8gb version of the iPod nano...and I had some time before I saved up the money, so I studied the other options I had.
I was a bit more on the side of the iPod, but I tried to be as neutral as possible.
So I took a look at the Sansa e280 (not the Rhapsody version), and immediately found out, that it had some nice stuff, that the iPod nano didn't...
Things that Sansa e280 has and the iPod nano doesn't have: - A built in radio - A built in mic - A changeable battery (apparently you can't change the iPod nano battery yourself) - Video feature - If I go to my friends house I can drag&drop his songs on the Sansa and then play them (my iPod nano couldn't do that)
And my personal opinions about the sansa: - I like the feel of the Sansa more then the ipod nano...It feels more secure and sturdy - The only thing I didn't like, was the scroll wheel...but that is negligible, because the other functions make up for the scroll wheel - I also didn't like, that the sansa was very ''fingerprint atracted'', but I fixed that with a leather jacket, that looks quite nice (a part of Sansa Travel kit)
Overall I like the Sansa e280 better than the iPod nano.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
