Title: SanDisk Sansa e280 Review
Pros: Rhapsody integration Card slot for extra memory
Cons: Controls are uncomfortable to use Disappointing audio quality
Verdict: The Sansa e260R would be a great player for sampling a constantly changing blend of music from Rhapsody's $15 monthly service. However, the player's low audio quality and uncomfortable thumbwheel make it hard to recommend
Summary: Offers slick Rhapsody online music store integration, but ease of use needs improvement, and sound quality is lackluster.

Pros: The Archos 105 MP3 player is one of the least expensive video-worthy MP3 players on the market.

Summary: There are better MP3 players than the Archos 105 available at this price, but few with so large a screen.
