I ask because I currently have an e280R. I like the newer scroll wheels on the View and Fuze, but after reading about the View’s firmware, I don’t want it anymore. I was hoping the Fuze would come out in 16GB initially. Since it isn’t, I was debating just picking up an 8GB and putting in an 8GB card. My only issue with that is on my e280R, everytime I turn it on, it has to update the DB if a card is inside. It doesn’t have a ‘sleep’ ability either.
Yeah, I’m actually starting to lose interest in using MicroSD cards for storing music, because of the amount of time required to read them. Unfortunately my music library is now at 12GB, so if I want my entire library on my player, I’m “stuck” with my iPod Video … which is actually a really nice DAP but a bit on the large side for outdoor activities etc., plus it has that disk inside.
I’ve considered getting the View, but am put off by reports of firmware problems etc. What I’d really like is the reliability and sound quality of the Clip (or Fuze?) in a 16 or 32 GB size but so sez a lot of people.
