And as this was being written, Sandisk was working on a solution to fix a pretty significant issue: the player currently cannot get past the "Terms and Conditions" page you find on a number of hotel and public hotspots.
But wireless is not the only feature the Sansa Connect offers. The menu system is great and easily navigable, and its compatibility with Yahoo! Music makes adding media to the device a cinch. The player even includes an external speaker and access to free Internet radio via its wireless connection. Simply navigate your way over to the Internet radio menu option, input your Yahoo! ID and username, and within seconds you have access to all of LaunchCast's Internet radio stations for free.

If that's not enough, the menu displays a Photo heading that not only allows you to view pictures stored on the device, but, by clicking the Flickr option, you can connect wirelessly to the Flickr homepage, can upload and view photos, and have access to Flickr's photos of the day.
Although the wireless functionality is a bit of a disappointment, the Sansa Connect boasts a great menu and impressive sound -- in other words, it's a fine alternative to any iPod. Let's just hope the issues mentioned above will be corrected in the next generation.
