Good portable player with SD slot?

[minimelody]

zen has a memory slot that support both the sd & sdhc cards I see this as a great addition to the player especially when I'm worry that the included memory will not be sufficient. currently its does allow the transfer of images from the memory card to the player I really like the video playback on the zen, it's so sharp & bright thanks to its 16.7 million color support

what's better i think is the recent drop in price for the zen!!

Doesnt the D2 works slower with a card?

 

[shigzeo]

before i bought my d2, i thought i might use the extra sd card eventually. i was wrong. i did a few times but it was troublesome and really, i listen to the same music over and over and when i tire of it it is time to charge and resync the music anyway.

i sold the d2 eventually (about a year later) as it just was not for me. good sdhc support though

several iaudiophile members have noted that its support of sdhc cards really taxes the battery. they got 24 or fewer hours after using it and usually around 40 or less. still good performance but...

It starts up a bit slower - 6-7 seconds versus 2-3 seconds. Actual operation is unimpeded though.

Sdhc card support is very good and operation is not affected by the addition of the card. A few seconds extra start up time and reduced battery duration have been reported.

I haven't heard battery life of 24 hours, but I have heard a few my friend say it gets reduced to about 30-some hours playing off the SDHC.

surprised nobody has mentioned the Fuze yet.

 

[shigzeo]

well fuze is not really out yet is it? or it has just been released so there are probably not reliable reviews about it yet.

 

[loopty]

The Sansa store has a release date of March 28th for the Fuze, for the US at least. There are reviews out there but nothing to the detail that would satisfy this forum.

Apparently you can already buy the Fuze at Best Buy, but it's worth mentioned it doesn't have a full size SD slot, it has a MicroSD slot.

yea it is a mini SD. anythingbutipod.com did a little preview for it. cNet did a review as well.

MiniSD is something different, it's MicroSD

... widely used in newer cell phones, but the size really upped its cost.

Insignia Pilot (Best Buy brand) 4 or 8gb version. SDHC slot, and it integrates into memory. More info @ abi.

Woof

The new creative zen has an expandable SD slot...

i've taken a look at the player and i might get one myself
