This past week, I finally took the plunge and bought an MP3 player. But, as you'll find out from this review, this is no off-the-shelf clearance item: this fully-featured little device beats the pants off your standard iPod Nano. Between the extensive built-in features, chic design, and smart usability, SanDisk has really made a winner.

The Sansa e200 comes standard with MP3 and WMA playback, video playback, picture slideshowing, a FM Radio tuner, voice recording, and a miniSD expansion port. With 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB models, they have anything to fit your budget... and make it beautiful enough to hang on a wall. In the portable entertainment market, there's a high standard to beat, and to exceed such a standard, you have to have an exemplary device.

Cue my new Sansa e260R.
