XYZ Computing has posted a review about SanDisk Sansa m230 512MB MP3 Player and writes - ‘This is actually really cool. That phrase belongs by itself for a very specific reason. There’s definitely a widespread belief—an epidemic, perhaps—that Apple Computer is the ultimate portable music player manufacturer. Sure, the SanDisk Sansa m230 doesn’t look as slick as Apple’s products, but for those who appreciate an alternate aesthetic to the laminated-white-chocolate-bar look, it’s slick and smart enough to hold its own’.
