Yeah, we love you, Sansa, but nobody’s really watching video clips on this thing.

It’s not that the 4GB of storage isn’t enough. That’s more than enough. It’s that you’ve got a 1.9” screen goin’ on on this thing. And any real videophile is not going to come near it.

You know who will? Kids.

The kids who are going to want to watch “vomiting dog.avi” or “kitten on slide.mov” while some other kid watches to make sure the teachers aren’t coming. The kids who are going to be using the 24 hours of battery life to listen to music on the playground at lunch, and maybe impress the other kids with how easily they can hide their player when some jerkface teacher won’t look the other way. Those are exactly the sort of people who are going to be loving video on a 1.9 inch screen.

You want to be the cool aunt? Want to be the cool uncle? Grab one of these now and save it for September. Sure, it’ll get lost, or maybe confiscated for the rest of the year, but keep in mind: this Red Sansa Fuse is cheap, while teaching a kid to have total disregard for authority? That’s gonna last forever.
