The Sansa e260 is built with tough titanium alloy that serves a dual purpose: sexy style, and unprecedented durability. The Sansa e260 can take a licking and keep on ticking and with battery life of up to 20 hours, that’s a whole lot of ticking on a single charge. Store photos, videos, and music on the built-in 4 GB of flash memory that’s expandable with a microSD memory card. The entertainment doesn’t stop there, you can even listen to your favorite radio stations with the FM tuner if you manage to reach the end of your 1000 song library. Priced right and filled with features, the e260 is another noteworthy digital media player from SanDisk.

Sansa beats the Nano
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: 4GB, Video playback, easy UI
Cons: Video sound quality, video file size
The Bottom Line:
I recommend this player because it's easy to use and small. The functions of it are great.
I have had this player for a week and I'm very glad with it. I tried out a friend's Nano and I couldn't find out how to go back to the "Now Playing" screen. With the Sansa that's easy. Click "Menu" if you're in the main menu.
Here's some info in detail..
=+-Music
~The sound quality is great. Maybe not for audiophiles though.
~Album art can be shown in full screen. Great feature.
~Volume goes quite high. At max, even studio headphones are really loud.
~Easy to rate songs. Just click the submenu button and choose "Rate Song"
=+-Video
~Plays at 15FPS. Smooth playback.
~Sound is always synced.
~The "Sansa Media Converter" converts videos to .MOV files. (But the size of the video goes up like 3x... Kinda bad.)
~Sound quality on videos is horrible. (But not if you customize it. anythingbutipod.com helps)
~Fun feature if you're bored.
=+-Photos
~Quality is good.
~Uses the Media Converter to upload photos. Takes about 1 second each photo.
~JPG format
~No pauses while going through photos.
=+-FM Radio - I don't use this at all... But I tried it out.
~Reception is good.
~Can be recorded.
=+-Recording
~Good microphone
~Can record FM Radio
=+-Settings
~Custom equalizer. (If you buy it currently or upgrade the firmware)
~USB mode can be selected.
~Volume can be set to High or Normal. Normal makes the max volume less than High.
~Date and Time
The player overall:
~When the brightness is set to middle, the screen is bright. When it's max, it's VERY bright.
~Scroll wheel is better than the iPod Clickwheel. (Well, for me anyways)
~Screen is pretty big for a player that size.
~Very durable.
What came bundled with it:
~Sansa-to-USB cable. (Used to transfer and charge)
~Media Converter CD
~Lanyard
~Headphones (Which I lost)
~Black Velvet Case
This player has some flaws and such, but most of it is great. I don't want and Ipod anymore. This player is the nano-killer.
