    Sansa Clip Zip: A value iPod alternative

    Posted January 28, 2012 - 8:00 am

    When it comes to small MP3 players, the iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano are tough acts to follow. The SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip is neither as petite nor as stylish, but it has features in spades: an FM radio, a voice recorder, a workout timer, and a microSD card slot for adding more storage--and all for a very modest price, making it well worth considering if you're on a tight budget.

    Posted October 13, 2008 - 3:18 pm

    The beautiful, fashion-conscious iRiver Spinn is the upscale lounge down the street from the Slacker G2's likable-but-slightly-sketchy dive bar.

But it also has quite a bit of substance lurking beneath all that style--if you can get past the bouncers (in this case, the sometimes unintuitive controls and the high cover charge).

Along the way, the company also slimmed down the case and rounded the iPod touch's edges (like the iPhone 3G). The price for the iPod touch has been slimmed down as well.
