woot has the fuze (refrib) for $35
Two different categories of music player dude. This is pure music, no video and super small and tough. It's smaller than a box of tictacs. Good for running or the gym.
If I didn't already have a Fuze and a Clip (both refurbs), I'd be all over this deal. The Clip+ takes MicroSD cards and has FM radio. And it's Drag and Drop simple.
Love mine, use it for audiobooks in the car.
Different categories maybe, but Clip/clip+ isn't any tougher than Fuze, the only advantages the former have is they're light enough to clip to your shirt collar or sleeve and standard miniUSB connector cable (which is a downside if you want to dock it to anything). Otherwise the Fuze is a more desirable player.
You can't get a new Fuze 4GB for $40 though, AFAIK.
Clip is lighter so it's likelier to survive a fall onto a hard surface.
im waiting for a rockbox install on the clip+ before i get one. anyways, this isn't a deal. i guess i'll wait for the refurbs to hit the market.
Do you apply the same logic to dropping a block of solid titanium instead?
Fuze has a sturdier casing, as a higher % of total weight. Granted, since it has a larger screen if there's a side impact just being larger means there's more surface area for a potential screen impact, but overall the difference in damage potential is negligable.
If you plan on dropping either, a cushioned case will make far more difference than which model it was.
