Re:Does it have the horsepower for Ogg? (Score 1)

Actually the Sansa players shipped in the US are only set to MTP by default. This is easily remedied by changing the setting to UMS in the devices' options menu. Of course it is buried fairly deeply in the interface and to a potential ipod convert it will be irritating to be unable to get USB device functionality out of the box. Many of my friends/family use their ipods for portable storage, even those that aren't the most tech saavy.

Not a great call by Sandisk, but also not a dealbreaker. It's easy enough to just change the shipping defaults if enough people complain.

I'm definitely looking forward to re-gifting my e260 and then upgrading to the new e280 model.
