[iaJim]

It was a Sandisk Sansa. It does look interesting, but does it work with iTunes......

If memory serves... the Sansa, in terms of feature/price/performance - had one upped the iPod until iPod nano 2G came out. And that was like 3 or 4 weeks after Sandisk introduced it.

It doesn't work with iTunes bought songs (without hack/drm removal I believe), but being open and objective - when it was available in August for $249 in the 8GB version - decent interface and twice the nano capacity for same price.

Then 9/12 Nano 8GB for $249 and itunes and it's still the best interface between the two and undisputed champ again.

Wonder how long ago HGTV filmed indeed.
