Advantages: Brilliant build quality, good sound quality, cheap price

Disadvantages: Average controls, slightly out of date.

This Sandisk model may be a little outdated now, but all that means is that it can be found for very low prices.

The device has very good build quality, and unlike most ipods, is very scratch resistant. It is a similar size to the earlier ipod nano, but is about twice is thick.

This device uses a combination of buttons and a mechanical jogwheel to control your music. This is not an especially efficient way of working as it can be confusing at times and the jogwheel is awkward to use at times. These problems are not a major off put though.

The screen is nice and bright, and has a reasonable resolution, but it is not up to the level of more recent screens such the one on the 3rd gen iPod nano. It more than acceptably serves its purpose though.

The sound quality is good, and the bundled headphones are reasonably decent. Video playback is a mixed bag, but is good enough for videos such as TV shows.

Summary: There are not many MP3 players that beat this in the £80 price region.
