The new SanDisk Sansa View compares favorably to the iPod Nano from Apple, at least on paper. The View comes in 8-gigabyte ($150) and 16-gigabyte ($200) versions, while the Nano has 4 gigabytes ($150) and 8 gigabytes ($200). The View has a 2.4-inch screen as opposed to a 2-inch screen on the Nano. SanDisk claims 35 hours of audio and seven hours of video playback on a single charge; the Nano claims 24 and five. The View has a built-in FM radio; the Nano requires a $25 accessory for radio play. And there's more. The Nano's storage capacity can't be expanded, while the View can add as many as 8 gigabytes using a MicroSD card. The View is bigger than the Nano, about the size of an open slider phone, weighing in at 2.9 ounces compared with the Nano's 1.74 ounces. In this case, bigger may actually be better. [News Source]
