Ipod. The name has become the standard in MP3 players. Much like Kleenex to tissue paper, Ipod is now the thing we associate portable music with. Sometimes, we want something different. Sandisk (the company that owns Sansa) delivers with the Sansa Fuze. I would say that it is the direct competitor to the Ipod Nano. It’s about the same size and it costs about the same. So why Sansa’s Fuze if Apple’s Ipod is the standard? Well for one, competition is good. Competition drives prices down and it forces manufacturers to adhere to a higher quality. Another thing I am sick of is following what’s “in”. Be different people! Don’t be a mindless sheep. Let’s all do our part and improve our standard of living.
