Sansa e250 Review Article by: Haze

SanDisk is the leading developer and manufacture in flash storage, so it really only seems natural that they would venture out into the realm of personal digital media storage (mp3 players). Sansa (SanDisk’s Flagship brand) it what the call their line up of flash media players, and they have a pretty big fleet on dry dock. But today I’m just going to talk about the Sansa e250.

wheel gives off a luminous blue glow whenever it is moved, and is gritty enough so that when you go to spin the wheel to turn up the volume, select menus' etc, the resistance you need is there, which is a big plus.  The "Play Pause", "Forward", "Back" and "Menu" button could have been made either a little bigger, of placed further away from the track wheel, because sometimes it can be difficult to press said button, especially if you have large hands, or stubby fingers. Overall, I’d give the ergonomics of this player 8.5 out of 10.
