  1. SanDisk Sansa View Review

    Reviewer: Anything but iPod

Over time you will see the View getting big discounts like seen with the e200; making this player even more attractive. There are a few trade-offs in firmware stability, screen, and build quality, so it may not be a winner for the more demanding consumer. The bottom... Read more

    locked to win media player 10 or 11 for drivers. I have wmp10 on 1 pc and device won't work on that pc. works on another one though. Should have drivers for it and more choices in format. No mac or linux support at all and will not work in 98 or me either. web support useless, phone support ok. Locked as MTP device sandisk has others that are more flexible. Would not have purchased if listed in detail. Read more
