I despise it. And because of that, I sent an email off to SanDisk about one of their products; the Sansa View. It's a wonderful MP3/WMV/MP4 player, easy controls, great sound, and clear bright screen.
It's fatal flaw is this: not learning from the mistake of the earlier iPods, it doesn't have a replaceable battery. So when the battery no longer holds a charge, it's to be chucked into the trash. This kind of thinking, this deliberate making of disposable tech, is why landfills are chock full, and why people have the 'toss it' mentality. I told them that the earlier version of this unit, which I have managed to secure, although it has a smaller screen, has the same storage capacity, same clear screen, but is equipped with a replaceable battery, and that maybe they should rethink their throwaway mentality.
