This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Connect 4GB SDMX8-N-4096K USB 2.0 MP3 Player with LCD (Black) (Electronics)
I picked up one of these players about 2 months ago - great player so far - good battery life, big screen, good sound quality even with the included headphones, and 4 GB of storage built in. Also it has a built-in speaker to use without headphones and the quality is suprisingly decent.
Don't pay $100+ for the WIFI-enabled version of this player - you can download a firmware update to enable WIFI on this player for free (just google for sansa connect wifi firmware or similar). The update also enables photo and video support. I read that the update *may* also enable microSDHC support up to 8 or 16 GB, but I have not tested that yet. Out of the box the player supports regular microSD up to 2 GB.
Once I flashed my player and enabled the WIFI, I put in my router info (w/ WEP key) and it hooked up seamlessly. You need a free Yahoo account to use the WIFI music features of this player. I can use it to listen to Yahoo! internet radio stations throughout my house,...Read more

HI there,
I love my connect. Have had it for years.. the sound quality is great and I really have no complaints about the hardware itself. Buttons are intuitive and the expandability makes it do everything I need it to.
CONS: this sansa is discontinued. The software was tied to yahoo music services and once they stopped yahoo you lose half of the feaatures you paid for.. including the wifi being a joke at that point. you cant connect wirelessly to your pc, you only could connect to the internet to download music from rhapsody. great idea.. but now gone.

As a tech guy who is the father of five teenagers, I have just a little experience with this genre of personal tech equipment... picked up this winner for $40 and my mid-teen son loves it... to us it seems better than other products purchased in the last 12 months (realistic time-frame for comparing based on cost/features of these players) that have cost several times more.
As is typical, the included headphones are ideal for casual / non-music (audio books, podcast news programs, etc.) listening, so if you are planning to listen to music or watch programming where sound matters, then I'd recommend you pick up some $20-$40 head phones to match the quality of this player.
