When I checked, AGES ago, I think most Sansa’s were between 10 or 12 and 22 hours.
I think most real-life results back then put the best around 18 hours of use.
I’ve yet to charge my e270 and my coke bottle model took one AA. I never calculated the hours but it suited my needs.
Does the wheel actually move 360’ or a quarter turn mechanically or is it a touch sensitive sort of thing?
My e270 has arrows opposed to a wheel. Note that I haven’t used it.
My OLD e200(?) has tiny arrows that weren’t a problem.
I think the wheel would be cool for my brother.
I’ve got to get to a store to check it out.
I’m thinking the Clip/Clip+ is too small.
I’m thinking the bigger screen is better for navigation.
Money is a factor at this time. That’s why the $20 price tag caught my eye. I also like deals.
I think I paid $45 including shipping for my e270 refurb a year or two ago.
I’m assuming all three models have the same sound quality. Anythingbutipod.com LOVES the sound quality of the Clip over $300 models.
Barring what’s in my wallet at the time and all units being the same GB in memory size, I think I’d choose the Fuze over the Clip+ over the Clip.
The memory expandability of the Clip+ and Fuze make them more attractive in a low onboard memory model over a larger onboard memory model Clip.
The Clip’s frailty is of some concern but I’ve also read that it’s no more frail than most offerings in the market.
$20 is just such a sexy tag.
I wouldn’t want to get my brother something that didn’t pan out well for him.
$20 (I don’t have) saved now could go towards getting him a Fuze later.
I’m out of work. If I get a job, cost wont be a factor … just bang for the buck could, maybe, be had in a refurbed Fuze.
If I get a job, I’ll get him a new Fuze.
If I don’t get a job soon, I’ll still try to come up with the money for a Fuze.
If things don’t pan out for me, I’ll give him my e270 or I’ll try to get him a $20 Clip Refurb.
Sorry to preach poor mouth. Times are tough these days. I never thought I’d be in such a state.
