Reviews on these are very hot/cold. Generaly consensus seems to be that the sound, if your unit works ok, is very high quality for this kind of box. If, however, it goes bad, you might as well toss it in the trash. Warranty is for repair only (not replacement), and repair centers are both hard to find and repairs seem not to hold up. Add on functionality, such as the clock/alarm/radio seems to be sub-standard.

Proof that the Sansa is better since it doesn't need peripherals to be a useful electronic device

I'm gettin good quality sound from mine. It's pretty good for a compact unit. Good bang for the buck anyway. I went to the Apple Store, and they're charging $399 for some funcky looking iPod speakers...
