Difference between Sansa clip 8 GB and 8 GB+

“It is cheaper because it is built cheaper: Clip+ has thinner and softer plastic used for rear cover, power switch is tactile instead of sliding contact, battery has less capacity, clip mounting is simpler with less hardware, display cable is bonded to main board instead of ZIF socketed, shielding plate for circuit board has been eliminated, control ring lighting eliminated, side and back painting eliminated, side button painting or chroming eliminated.”

Thanks for this second viewpoint.

How much less is the battery capacity?

What do you mean by  “display cable is bonded to main board instead of ZIF socketed”? Does it still work with the mini-USB? (Sorry for ignorance.)
