Big wheels turn slowly. More accessories and after-market products will become available for the Fuze, but it will take time.
I too, noticed the Altec Lansing im510 was a bit steep at $119 on the Sandisk site. Of course, that’s a good unit with good speakers. So I guess it’s not that bad considering. You might try looking on Amazon.com. If there’s something that will work for you, chances are they will have the best price.
I have the Sansa base station and really enjoy it. But then, that’s what I was looking for; something to plug into my stereo at home. Your wants & needs are different. I got mine from Amazon for $47, no sales tax + free shipping. The best price I found anywhere else was $59.99 + tax + shipping. Quite a difference. And Amazon always gets whatever I buy from them (or their partners) to me in record time.
Good Luck in your search!
