Advantages: Easy to use, Perfect Gift For a Kid, Two Headphone Outputs, Durable, Built in Speakers

Disadvantages: Colours are a bit obvious - pink for girls, blue for boys

SanDisk are perhaps known best for their memory cards that we use every day in our mobile phones - probably without even knowing it. Yet with the Sansa Shaker (released March 2007) they have created a product that is perfect for introducing kids to the wonders of music.

---What is the Sansa Shaker?---

Everything about the product has "touch me" written all over it. It features easy navigation buttons for ease of use with the kids, as well as its wonderful "shake" feature. This is where the child shakes the Sansa to change to the next track. Furthermore, there was a feature that i found should be included in all mp3 players. How many times have you shared headphones with a mate whilst listenening to a song? The Sansa has two headphone outputs so that music can be shared - brilliant! Alternatively, its built in speakers allow kids to share their music with everyone whenever and wherever. Finally, SanDisk have included a memory card slot so that extra memory can be used apart from the built-in 1GB of the product itself.

---Who Should I Buy it for?---

The product is aimed at children - which i think is great due to its affordable price. It is also quite robust - evidently designed to bear the brunt of being thrown around by kids. Yet, i can see this being used by adults on the move as well. Sure, the colours are a bit childish - but this is perfect for commuting or going for a jog. Definitely consider this for your favourite nephew's next birthday or Christmas.

Summary: Great Cheap Present for the Kids!
