Sansa Clip: Another alternative for the iPod

I'm just here at work, enjoying what is left of my lunch hour when I happened to bump into one article about a new Yahoo! Tech review for an MP3 player. It is called the Sansa Clip, and it comes in 1 and 2GB 'flavors'. It uses a scroll wheel control similar to that of the iPod. It looks nice and very lightweight, and it has its own FM tuner. It comes in cheaper than the iPod Shuffle, and it works with Windows Media Player 10 or 11.

Sounds nice, doesn't it? Just as a precaution, don't come running and buying this gadget just yet. Give it a few weeks [as with all newly released gadgets] so that people in your area could check it out and provide feedback, then you decide if you still want to buy it.

One drawback that has been noted in the Yahoo! Tech comments on the article is that it does not show in Media Player even when it is plugged in.

I haven't used this device myself, but this would be a pretty cool alternative to the very pricy iPod line of mp3 players.
