Sandisk deserves an award for the worst form factor for a pocket media player, ever.

@#1

yeah, too bad this isn't a pocket media player. It was design for little kids, that's why you can shake and twist it every which way.

Built-in Speakers

Good observation detective. How exactly did you figure it out?

This doubles as rotorocker's butt plug. *smirk*

I bet my four year old son would think this was pretty cool.

It's too big for a pocket and too unwieldy for a armband or whatnot. The advertising copy shows a kid holding it while jumping to music, yet the player is designed to change tracks when shaken. Smart. Also, unlike the iPods, etc, the Shaker doesn't feature a volume limiter. Better invest in a set of low-volume headphones or ReplayGain all your tracks before giving this player to your kid. Of course, it's so inconvenient to carry around that your kid will probably lose it after a week or two anyway.

The only possible use I can see for it is as a device for listening to podcasts or audiobooks via the built-in speaker, though I doubt the single AAA battery would power it for long. I can't imagine anyone, even a kid, listening to music for any length of time from a 1 inch mono speaker these days.

they sell this at walgreens. cool gizmo for a kid, i would have loved it . teacher probably take it away tho
