Rating: - * love it ... i love this mp3 player. small but has great sound. really easy to download music with windows media player Rating:  - * sansa clip ... i just purchased this mp3 player to get 4 gb my i audio by cowon was only 512 this is an excellent value for $60.00 it's no frills very portable sounds at least as nice as my cowon and is about the size of a box of matches 4gb 60 bucks can't go wrong try it you'll like it Rating:  - * Rather sorry I bought it ... It's cute, sounds good and is reasonably priced, but the Sansa Clip 4 Gb freezes *a lot* for no apparent reason. Usually it's just annoying and all you have to do is "reset." But today I turned mine on and only the logo showed: It would do nothing. After looking for a solution online, I found that I had to reformat the drive and of course, then transfer all of my mp3 files and audio books on to it again. Do yourself a favor and search the Internet for "sansa clip freeze" before you buy. Rating:  - * watch for fragile lcd ... My daughter had it for 2 weeks before we noticed a crack on the LCD. And I know she's very careful with it. It could be a very fragile display. Other than that, my daughter loves the Sansa. Rating: - * seems good to me ... I bought the Sansa 4gb clip to study for a comprehensie promotional test; I needed something small that had a large storage capacity. When the Clip arrived I was pleased at how small the device was, but it looked like it was limited in features. The screen display was not impressive when I turned the unit on, but I was in for a nice surprise. The screen uses OLED technology and as I navigated through the many different screens I was more than satisfied with the display. I already have two Sansa e260's and they were nice, but synching, updating and maintaining the e260's is nothing close to flawless. The clip however is very easy to update with Sansa updater, downloading files is easy and I have not had any problems with the device thus far. Promotional audio is not the best material to rate the playing quality of the device, so I listened to some music. I was impressed with the sound that came from this very small device and the capacity it holds. I loaded all the cd's in my promotional collection, (I tried to load them, (15 cd's), into a 40 hour digital recording device, but that held only a fraction of the material), which this held with room to spare. The e260's in my opinon do not deserve to be in the same category as the clip. Although the e260's are made from the same manufacturer and have the advantage of playing video, they do not scream with quallity as the clip does. I have also compared the clip to the ipod shuffle and they both offer an exceptional sound experience, it is hard for me to comprehend that devices as small as these can provide such a high quality music experience. The headpohones that came with the clip had excellent sound reproduction, but they would occationaly fall out if I accidentally pulled on the cord. I bought a high quality set of earphones that stick inside your ear canal, but they offered little improvement and the sound quality remained about the same, although they did sound different with possibly more bass, but I'm not sure which set I like better, so I use them both. The clip is noticeably thicker than the shuffle, but if you compare both of them with their retaining clips they are similar in size. The apple shuffle is probably around an eigth of an inch thick and it is amazing that it can hold as much music as it does, (ranges from 512kb-2gb models), the clip I bought has 4 gb storage and is about 1/4 of an inch thick. I like it so much that I might buy 2 more for my daughters and give away the e260's. The 2gb and 4gb are different animals and the displays are not the same. I saw the 4gb clip on sale for $50.00 in the sunday paper, what an unbelievable value. Good luck. |
It's three movies in one, beginning when punctuality-obsessed Federal Express systems engineer Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) departs on Christmas Eve to escort an ill-fated flight of FedEx packages. Following a mid-Pacific plane crash, movie number two chronicles Chuck's four-year survival on a remote island, totally alone save for a Wilson volleyball (aptly named "Wilson") that becomes Chuck's closest "friend." Movie number three leads up to Chuck's rescue and an awkward encounter with his ex-girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt, in a thankless role), for whom Chuck has seemingly risen from the grave.
It's fascinating to witness Chuck's emerging survival skills, and Hanks's remarkable physical transformation is matched by his finely tuned performance. With slow, rhythmic camera moves and brilliant use of sound, Zemeckis wisely avoids the postcard prettiness of The Black Stallion and The Blue Lagoon to emphasize the harshness of Chuck's ascetic solitude, and this stylistic restraint allows Cast Away to resonate more than one might expect. Even the final scene--which feels like a crowd-pleasing compromise--offers hope without shoving it down our throats. You may not feel the emotional rush that you're meant to feel, but Cast Away remains a respectable effort. --Jeff Shannon
