Review:
I was very disappointed with this product as I was looking for a reliable alternative to the iPod and I had read good reviews for it. However this machine was not it. For a start the menus are awkward and the typeface cluttered. If you pause it for longer than about 30 seconds it automatically turns itself off, which is a nuissance as it takes about 1 minute to turn back on again. Finally the sound quality is abysmal. After 2 weeks my Sansa completely stopped working which turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it meant I could get a full refund.

Don't hold your breath for Wii HD, says Nintendo
Nintendo cautions against holding your breath for a new Wii HD. Such action won't make it release an HD console any quicker, and might result in the breath-holder getting dizzy and passing out

Lack of a camera is disappointing, but this is a truly excellent media player in almost all other respects
