SanDisk Sansa Shaker

review DATE:08.10.07

Sandisk Sansa Shaker
With Earphones Back Top

review

By Tim Gideon

Back to School 2006Whenever I buy a toy for my good friends' two-year-old son, I like to make sure it makes a lot of noise. That's because, in my experience, kids love loud toys, even though parents hate them. I'm glad to say that SanDisk's Sansa Shaker, an MP3 player designed specifically for youngsters that comes complete with lots of zany sound effects, fills the bill perfectly. I am confident that it would make me instantly popular with children while being simultaneously the perfect gag gift for parents—could it get any better?
