Sandisk Sanza Fuze- Better than iPod?
Posted by gizmoave - November 10, 2008
Well, when it comes to price, it sure is. The 8GB Sanza Fuze costs $129 whereas the all new 8GB iPod Touch goes for $229. Let’s see what Sanza Fuze has to offer minus the touchscreen. The Sandisk Sansa Fuza is a small player, it is size is 1.9 inches thick and has a 220 x 176 pixel resolution. It’s compatible with Audible media files, JPEG, MP3, WAV, and WMA files. Via.

So that means that you have no annoying iTunes to deal with. To update the Fuze, a microSD/microSDHC port is placed on the left side for all your images, music, and video transfer. That’s not all; it also has a FM radio and a built-in voice recorder. You can get one (Fuze 2GB) for as cheap as $79.
if its that small, why is it being compared to an ipod touch? better camparison is the ipod nano which goes for $150. not that big of a differnce for a way more reliable nano.
a microSD card is a plus but think of how much it will cost you to get as much memory on your fuze as on an Ipod nano 16GB it goes for 200$. thats 70$ more for double the space, smaller and sleeker device. I find the Ipod is much easier to use menu-wise, plus you don’t go through all that fuss to get a playlist saved. And accessories for the Ipod are alot easier to get a hold of. But if you can’t afford that kind of luxury than the Sanza Fuze is a good alternative though inferior to the Ipod.
itunes sucks. It only costs about 100 dollars to get a 4GB fuze, and then add a 8GB SD card. I think we are also forgetting the hardware for both the SD card slot, and the voice recorder. The fuze is a much better deal.
sansa is the best device besides ipod touch and itunes stinks
last i checked the nano doesnt have drag and drop file loading and it cant play wma ogg or flac and you cant find a nano with 24gigs of memory you can have that much in the fuze.
I found an 8gig fuse at Best Buy for about $100. Tigerdirect.com has 8gig microSD cards for about $20. From what i have seen at all the stores around where i live in NC, the 16gig Ipod (not the touch) goes for about $200. My fuse cost me $80 less for the fuse and the card, than the ipod, and i dont have to mess around with Itunes, which is a big plus in my opinion. Also i recently purchased 2 more 8gig microSD card. It takes very little time to change out the cards. So now i can carry around 32gig of music/video with me and i only spent $160, lets see you find a deal like that from Apple.
