...total of $750. With Rhapsody, you can connect the ZonePlayer to your home-network router and your stereo, set your thumb to the controller, and off you go. Sonos recommends two ZonePlayers - the $1,000 bundle - because the beauty of the product is its ability to synchronize playback through multiple zones. Either way, the addition of Rhapsody (at $10 per month) means nearly any music you can think of, when and where you think...
...wireless networking capability for downloading songs remotely or streaming music to a receiver. It does, however, answer many concerns. Capacity has been raised to 80GB in order to make room for 1-2GB movies. Battery life on the 80GB iPod ($349) is up to 6.5 hours, guaranteeing the playback of one or two, if not three full-length features. That also means 20 hours of music.

SanDisk says that you can play 20 hours of music...
...with lots of stuff buried in folders and subfolders. Each Sprint channel is assigned a number, like on TV, but there's no way to remember the numbers, nor is there a helpful channel guide on Sprint's website (hint, hint). I also like how the V Cast video playback is easy to pause and resume. Sprint's controls are non-existent...
