I bought a sansa clip+ just last weekend.  So far it is great and fits my
needs perfectly.  Best of all is what it is not.  No crap stores, social
networks, etc.  It is very small, very cheap, and very simple to operate.
 The only thing it lacks is video, which I did not use anyway.  For now I'm
using my existing zune software to download podcasts, and using manual drag
and drop to sync with the sansa.  I may try
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockbox in future but for now I'm happy.   Too
busy at work right now to experiment with things that are not broken.

It is much more convenient than the zune, so far.

P.S.  I'm now using SQL Server for the first time.  SSMS is terrible
compared to Toad/Oracle, I wonder if there is something else that is solid
that I should switch to?  You get used to anything, and at least SSMS is not
crashy, but I'm surprised how primitive it is, since I'd been hearing people
rave about it for years.  In retrospect it should not surprise me, MS is
into drag and drop, and verbosity.
