The home page should say "Not the v2 Sansas", as opposed to AMS

<< < (2/5) > >>

Llorean:
We could say "only first generation" instead.

Didn't the "v2" moniker originate from Sandisk when they released the "e200v2" players (that is, with "e240v2," "e260v2," etc. actually etched on their back casing)? Granted, Sandisk has gone beyond that initial difference with their subsequent Clip and Fuze hardware revisions (creating distinctions among even the AMS players)...

...so I think your suggestion of "only first generation" works nicely.

Well, how about a "what does this mean?" link (or "details" or something like that) link that goes to a page describing the difference and how to indentify an AMS player?

Hillshum:
SanDisk themselves started the whole v2 thing by putting 'v2' on the back, and using the term themselves.

Llorean:
Since when do e200v2s have V2 on the back? Where does this information come from?

For ages we've had to identify them by booting them up and checking the firmware version.
