The sleek, simple Sansa Fuze by Sandisk is positioned to take on the iPod Nano head-to-head, with comparable specs to the Nano but a much friendlier pricetag, at just $80, $100, or $130, depending on the model you choose.
Available in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB sizes that come in black, pink, red, blue, and silver, the Fuze has a stylish, easy to use navigation menu which reminds me of the Xbox navigation scheme, where new items slide into view as you scroll. And I love the start-up and shut-down animations, which are just plain cool.

Some of my current favorite mobile apps have been PocketTwit, Google Maps, YouTube, Evernote and others. Some of these apps I’ve been able to install successfully to my 2GB MicroSD card and some won’t let me install to that location.
Anyone know of a reason why? Is this a problem with the application itself, the phone, or …read more

I’ve got a multi-card reader in my Toshiba Satellite laptop that has really come in handy. My installation with Windows XP has made managing data on these cards even easier.
I’ve run into some challenges lately thought that have become really irritating and I’m trying to figure out some solutions.
New SanDisk 4GB SD HC (High-capacity): I mistakenly purchased this card instead of the MiniSD card I actually needed. I was hoping I’d still be able to basically leave it in the card reader on my laptop and use it for some extra storage. No luck.
