Advantages: Size
Disadvantages: None

The RCA Opal M4004 is my daughters newest pocket pal, and that's exactly where she keeps it at all times. It's so slim and very durable proven by 6 months of school bus rides, cross country running meets and every other place she can sneak it into. This MP3 holds over 1000 songs, video clips which I guess is the newest teen craze, what ever happen to rock t-shirts? It also holds personal photos and makes a photo slide show, and has a personal recorder ...
...or just being silly with her friends. The Opals come in varieties of two toned colors. Along with the MP3 you get a set of white earbuds. A USB cable for downloads and recharging which takes about 3 hours if the battery is completely low. She usually gets about 15 full hours of usage before she has to recharge, and I usually get 2 hours of full quiet on a road trip. I've seen these for sale at all the big electronic stores for between $69-$99, ... Read review

Advantages: Very easy to use.

...will be less. The RCA Opal is boasts a 1.8 inch viewing screen, which I think is a great size to be able to view pictures and videos on the go.

You have great highs and lows, and the equalizer comes in handy when you go from one genre to another. You can even ... Read review

Advantages: Good playback, nice design
Disadvantages: Bit pf a copy on the Ipod which is smaller, with more capabilities.

My friend has this Sansa and I have used it many times, on one occasion I borrowed it! It was very neat and pleasing to use. The screen is very nice and clear, although maybe not up to the ipod quality. The scroll wheel in the centre resembles the ipod in many ways, however I feel it is a failed attempt at copying the ipod signature design! The 4GB memory is very decent, its great for storing all the music and pictures, even audiobooks a person ...
...the ipods fiddly itunes program for uploading music, it is simply drag and drop from your documents. This is also handy if your computer crashes, because your music is backed up on the Sansa. The headphones weren't amazing, I couldn't really put them in my ears properly, so I had to use my own in ear ones, which are much better. This product is great for the money my friend paid, I was seriously considering getting one myself, but I eventually chose ... Read review

I purchased this Apple IPod nano with 8 GB May of 2008. the features are great, you can spend alot of time filling this iPod with photos, videos, music podcasts, and lots of other stuff. The one drawback is the battery life is not that great. It comes with a usb cable to recharge the battery using your pc, which is very convenient. I have loaded about 540 of my favorite songs on it so far. Navagating the volume feature is tricky for a first time ... Read review
