The Sandisk Sansa E250 is generally viewed as a very good Mp3 player and a solid competitor to the Ipod Nano.

Users praise its small size and good screen but have some reservations whet it comes to the USB connector, which is the only means of charging the player.

The Sansa E250 also features a microSD slot, allowing for increased memory capacity by using microSD cards.

Some users have reported problems with the player crashing when being disconnected from the PC, but still recommend it for the large number of features.

While not suited for audiobook listening, due to lack of a bookmarking feature, the Sansa E250 is a solid Mp3 player with numerous features and a nice control system.
