Bought the sansa connect 4gb in february and I've been liking the embedded wifi abilities. You are limited to the yahoo radio stations. The upside to that is they are surprisingly good. The next generation better cut that type of closed network shit out right now! the device doubles as hand held ssid browser, also showing the security status of each network. The WORST THING about this is the once again awful choice of going with yahoo music exclusively. filling up the base 4gb (2gb micro sd card slot inlcluded) requires you to put on an obnoxious media player akin to rhapsody's full version. I find that installing just the sansa restore utility alone lets you add files in a windows explorer environment which i prefer yes i detest itunes as well. my tiny mp3 player of choice is now foobar.
this ccrane radio with wifi also looks improves on my most favorite little tivoli radio by adding an unlocked wifi radio station browser with shitttttonnes of stations
"During our tests, we were able to easily tune in over 2,000 popular US radio stations. Just for fun, we tuned in some English stations from Norway, Germany, Argentina and more. As if that were not enough, the AE Wi-Fi Radio can even tune in to MP3, Real Media, and other WMA compatible audio files saved on your computer's hard drive — and it's all wireless!"
sometimes i wonder if i need to have 30,000 radio station options while showering or going to the loo... but then it might be fun.
