Poorly designed? Seems to work fine for me and others I know. Small, plays video, inexpensive, micro sd upgradeable ect. Sure you can complain about the controls not being exactly like the Ipod(surely they had a patent on the scroll wheel). On all fronts the e200 series blows the Nano out of the water. Not perfect but the best choice for a flash player for many. The only reason it did not do better is that 13 yr olds(and those with the same level of maturity) did not think it was "cool". Like owning an Ipod Nano was actually cool lol. I refused to buy my daughter a Nano and got her the e260 and now her friends all wish they had one. If you want a fashion accessory buy an Ipod nano. Want a smart useable mp3/video player then go with Sansa E200 series and save yourself some money in the process.
