SanDisk Sansa Rumors

The silky, shiny black Sansa Connect is markedly greater than the 4GB iPod nano--easily excusable given the integral Wi-Fi module, microSD Card slot, and rear-mounted mono loudspeaker system. At a lower place the great, acute 2.2-inch colour liquid crystal display embodies a mechanical scrollwheel decorated by a blue LED.

An OK button sits down in the midst of the scrollwheel, which bears 4 clickable degrees thereon (replay buttons and primary menu). To a higher place the dial are 2 contextual menu controls, and on the left side is a loudness leaver button. The power button and accommodate switch are about the top, while the proprietary charging/synchromizing plug and earphone jack are on the bottom.

SanDisk admits an AC-to-USB adaptor (a large incentive), an USB wire, earplugs, a laniard, and a delicate drawing string sack, plus a CD with Yahoo Music Jukebox thereon. The Connect functions on Windows Media Player 10 and 11, in addition to PlaysForSure services and MP3s. But to enjoy the Yahoo-related features, you had better set up Yahoo Music Jukebox.

Installation is a picnic, and signing on for a Yahoo ID online is you're welcome, either. A 30-day free Yahoo Music Unlimited To Go tryout goes with the player, and it tolls $14.99 per month after that for all-you-can-eat music (or $11.99 per month if you buy an one-year subscription). We alike that you do not have to submit a credit card data for the free tryout, having in mind you will not get foxed into buying once your 30 days are up.

The precious, icon-based user interface is sensitive decent and super easily to navigate. The clickable dial acts smoothly, applying close to haptic feedback. The Connect does not do videos or FM radio, but with a Yahoo ID and a free Flickr photo-sharing account, you are able to approach almost 40 costless Yahoo LAUNCHcast online radio stations (whenever you are a subscriber, there's upwards about 120 stations to pick out of), and Flickr photographs. We particularly like the power to buy music you hear during listening to LAUNCHcast, even out though not totally of the LAUNCHcast tracks are purchasable.
