Something I saw on Engadget a while back: SanDisk Products MP3 Players SanDisk Sansa e200 Series MP3 Players.

I am so looking forward to trying this out. I've been wanting a non-hard-disk MP3 player with FM tuning so that I can work out at the Pro-Club or such without worrying about the bouncing around damaging it.

I currently have a Creative Zen Micro. It has two big problems that prevent me from using it more:

(1) Awful touch-senstive controls. I'm constantly being "off-by-one" when selecting something and having to back up and try again, oops, overshot, back-up, try again.

(2) Creative Zen specific software required to sync to it. Dumb. I use lots of computers. I might download a podcast at work and want to listen to it on the way home. Well, I could lay down the Creative Zen software on ever laptop and computer I use, but I don't want to do that. I just want to plug it in and drop files onto it.

I used an ipod nano in the Apple store shortly after it came out. It just worked. I figured out the controls naturally and was able to bounce around and easily do whatever I wanted with it.

But all my music is WMA and it's staying that way. So no ipod for me. I can only hope that the Sansa e200 is similar enough that I can be happy with using it.
