Finally, though not an iPod

I really want an iPod but I don't have $250 to spend. So I compared all the mp3 players within my budget and narrowed it down to two: Sansa e250 and iPod Nano.

Contrary to what you would think, I ended up with the Sansa. Why? Very simple reasons really.
  1. Bigger screen (almost double)
  2. iTunes crashes my PC every single time
  3. It has a radio
  4. I can record voice, radio and music
  5. It looks sturdier - I thought the Nano would break just by looking at it.
  6. Did I mention a bigger screen?

So you see, even though I long for the day I can have an iPod, the Nano just wasn't the same and there was actually a better product. So it seems that I will buy my Mac and my iPod once I graduate.
