Play with the Tmobile G1 even before you buy it!

Click the buttons, go through the menus, get to know the functions and it’s capabilities. Yes, you can do all that with the emulator of the Tmobile G1. When the page has loaded, click on the emulator to play with it. It is obvious that you won’t be able to use wifi and GPS on it.

It is really nice to know that Tmobile has gone for the innovative medium of making people play with the (new) Android OS before they buy it.

REVIEW: Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4GB MP3 player – Take that iPod Nano!

When you want to be a part of I-do-not-want-to-buy-an-iPod list, Sandisk has been on the progressive line of making feature-rich MP3 players. They have learned quite well from the past mistakes and have come out with great innovations in their new range of MP3 players. In the new Sansa range, they have improved the built quality; screen quality and sound quality. They have made something which can actually stand against the iPod Nano

Just look at the impression the Sansa makes on it’s user. It is under $100; packs more functionality than the iPod Nano; looks very sleek and is very fashionable. Packed with lot of great features like built in FM, video player, photo viewer and an great MP3 player, this one is not something to let go easily.

Design

The Sandisk Sansa Fuze is just 2.0 inches wide by 3.1 inches tall by 0.3 inches deep. Due to those comfortable dimensions, it is very easy to hold in your hand. It has very nice illuminated job wheel in the middle which is used also used to change the volume when playing a song. It is a very well designed MP3 player. It has a rubberized back and glossy front, together making it look very snazzy. I would prefer the rubberized back of the Sansa way more than the slippery back of the iPod Nano any day. In other words, the Sansa does not look like the cheap MP3 players from China

What is there in the Box? Continue reading “REVIEW: Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4GB MP3 player – Take that iPod Nano!”
