Despite the small niggles, then, it's clear that the GoGear SA2840 is a highly capable player. Though the control system and screen could be better, sound quality is good and the design is quite good.
Best of all, however, it's very cheap - at least in its 4GB guise anyway (oddly, the 2GB version comes out at roughly the same price). At £35 it's less than a Clip with the same capacity, and undercuts the iPod Shuffle with half the capacity, as well as the 4GB Zen Stone Plus. That, in my book, makes this player a great buy and the best alternative to SanDisk's tiniest player if you want more capacity.Read full review
