(In fact, the 2GB screenless iPod shuffle costs only $10 less than 2GB Fuze.) The player may be weak in the area of file support-particularly with video-but it still offers the typical Sansa array of features, like a microSD slot, FM radio, and a voice recorder. The Fuze is a third-gen iPod nano competitor, and at 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB capacities (for $80, $100, and $130, respectively), it offers the same storage at much lower prices than the 4GB ($150) and 8GB ($200) nanos. As it stands, none of the Sansa players, the Fuze included, do anything as innovative as the Connect, with its Wi-Fi access to Yahoo! Music accounts, but they all deliver quality, performance, and features at low prices. It's possible that the Fuze was introduced by SanDisk to round out its line, since the Sansa Connect, which was tightly integrated with the now-defunct Yahoo! Music, was recently discontinued.

SanDisk's latest addition to its portable media player line, the Sansa Fuze, fits cozily in between the dirt-cheap and diminutive Sansa Clip and the larger Sansa View in terms of both price and size.
