 NEW YORK (AP) - So far, nothing but a new iPod has been able to tear me away from my old iPod. But after spending some time cozying up to SanDisk Corp.'s new Sansa Connect WiFi MP3 player, I'm willing to admit there are other players I'd use in a pinch.
The $250 Sansa Connect is a flash-based music player that lets users access Internet radio, view Flickr photos, see what their Yahoo Instant Messenger buddies are listening to and download music, all via Wi-Fi — something no iPod offers.
After taking it out of the box, I winced at its bulk — the Connect is about twice as thick as an iPod Nano, but only comes with 4 gigabytes of memory. A black nub sticks out of its top, which I guessed might house its Wi-Fi antenna. The nub includes openings for attaching a shamelessly unfashionable black rubber lanyard, which, despite about 20 minutes of concentrated effort, I could not thread.
