If your kids are itching to get their hands on a trendy new MP3 player, but a $250 iPod isn’t in the cards, SanDisk’s new Sansa Shaker model may fit the bill. Set to retail at $39.99, the Shaker is targeted at the “tween” audience that may not need all the slick features and storage capacity of a more expensive device.
Besides the price tag, the Shaker also has some other kid-friendly features that set it apart from the pack. The simple interface is controlled by two touch-sensitive bands, or alternately, by shaking the device. A quick snap up and down moves users from one song to the next. The Sansa Shaker also includes a built-in speaker and two headphone jacks to make sharing music easier.
