Reviews of the SanDisk Sansa m260 (4GB, slate blue)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Available in up to 4GB capacity; solid value; includes FM tuner and voice recorder; compatible with WMA DRM 10 (Janus) and Audible files; decent controllers; on-the-go playlists.
The Bad: Bulky (but lightweight); no line-in recording; poorly backlit display; only one quality option for voice recording.
The Bottom Line: With its many features as well as its compatibility with audiobooks and subscription-based music, the SanDisk Sansa m200 series is an overall great value.
