Aww its cute. I love the pink one. I'd totally get it.

Cute player. At 15 hours it's got much better battery life than the Zen Stone Plus, which is also a nice player but only rated for 9.5 hours.

Suspect having the screen and especially the clip is more aimed at competing with the Shuffle than the Stone though.

Interesting, but I am waiting to see what Sandisk has in store next for their next generation of the E200 series and eventually their Sansa View/PMP device that they delayed to change up a bit. Sandisk has a good taste for design and specifications, amazing prices, and include some great features that should be in most all DAP's (mainly removable battery and memory card slots, but I guess you just can't have it all lol).

the Express is still better

So where is this mythical press release?

Huh, it looks pretty big to me judging by the USB port.

Any ideas as to whether it'll be MTP or UMS? I'd like to be able to put music on this thing without any music manager software.

save me a blue one

I wish you could use removable memory

No details yet, but if it's anything like other Sansa's, you can set it to both USB modes depending on what you like best.

New Sansa don't let you choose between MTP and MSC anymore. They default to MTP on XP/Vista, and MSC on other OSes.

Like the new look of the site, but you need a SanDisk category on the top left along side Creative and others.

I've been Googling; looks like the latest Sansa models are MTP on Windows, and UMS on Linux. Not selectable. Supposedly on Windows you can use the Device Manager to make the Sansa Express a UMS device, I wonder if the same thing can be done with the Sansa Clip.

I just got my Clip, $34.99 @ Best Buy today.
It's great, I had a new Ipod classic 80 gb, I sent back, Itunes software was a waste of time.
The clip is so easy to learn how to use. I found I had to use the mini USB cable that came with the clip, My other mini USB cable would not let the clip install correctly.
In my area the radio works great, Even indoors. Custom 5 band EQ is nice also.
The clip has great sound and volume.
The Clip is the perfect MP3 player for me, I'm glad Sansa made this one.

My husband and I both picked up one at Best Buy yesterday for $34.99 - (thought hey looks good, it's got the features that we need, small enough and with a clip for the gym, running, or biking). Glad that we did cuz it's easy to use with Windows Media Player AND it comes with FM radio with presets and a voice recorder. Nice small player with 2G for a good value.

I just bought myself and my girlfriend a 2G Sansa Clip and it is by far the easiest system to work with that I have come across yet. It is a great little product that fits in my pocket and if it wasn't for the constant playing of music in my ear, I would forget that I have it. The voice recorder ,the AM/Fm tuner and let not forget the unbelievable 15 hours of battery life are also an added bonus, especially for the price, I mean $34.99 (Best Buy). Rock on. Two down falls though, no known accessories (i.e. car/wall charger, carrying case) and expandable memory would have been nice (i.e. removable sd card). But for the price and other great features I give this product 5 out of 5 stars.

My wife and I just bought 2 of these on Black Friday for $34.99(Best Buy). Great product and very simple to use. Being that I rip all of my cds in WMA format to my computer it was very easy and quick to load music. I had just purchased an Ipod Classic(which I love) a month before but don't like taking it to work as I work in a manufacturing environment. This Sansa clip will be easy to use and can hold plenty of songs to make the work week go by. My wife purchased hers mainly for working out, which it is PERFECT for. 2gb is plenty to go to the gym and rock out. Great product for everyone especially those who don't like to use computer programs. All you need to know how to do is use Windows Explorer and drag files to player-VERY SIMPLE.
Thanks Sandisk for the simplicity. 91/2 of 10

I am running xp pro and for some reason this does not install properly...is it compatable with what i am running or why won't it install properly.. it installed on my daughters computer and she is running "vista" on hers.
thank you kellie

anybody know if it has a DRP on it or not? stopping songs from like, limewire being uploaded onto it

Wall and car charger from my motorola krzr flipphone seem to work fine with the clip, makes it really convenient.

i love this....i have the pink 2 gb...i got it for 35 on black friday....its perfect except it would be better if it had time and date on it....but other than that its better than ipod

thanks for the review. Just got an 80GB iPod classic and I am very happy. But there's just one thing. How do you wear it while running? I wouldn't want to take my classic running with its hard drive. I really don't mind cutting my library down. I don't listen to some of the stuff in the corners of my library anyway. I'm glad to be transferring my music over to Windows Media Player for it. Windows Media Player is way less slow than iTunes. All they need is to update their colors so they don't all look bad (No offense Windows but Windows Media Player colors aren't very nice and they sure don't go with my background). I have some cutting down to do!!The only thing I'm worried about is the quality of the Sansa Clip. Is it going to fall apart on me? I don't know. I guess I'll just have to buy the 2GB to see. By the way, Future Shop isn't selling the 4GB version. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks.
