GideonTech.com has also posted a review for for SanDisk Sansa m240 (1GB, silver). They write ‘Since I have been going to the gym recently, I wanted something small I could fit in my pocket. I was looking at Apple iPod Nanos but they are far more expensive and far easier to bend and crack. I did not want a player that I would feel guilty about breaking or caring for. When I was looking at the Sandisk Sansa, I noticed it was the perfect size and the package even came with an elastic armband and case! So if I wanted to run on the treadmill or out on the road, I could strap this to my arm, hit the hold switch and forget about it.’
