Sandisk Shaker set to wow kids for a split second or more

You shake it and it changes track.
My CD player does that.

Prepare for ACTION!
It’s got a ’sturdy’ clip, because you know how much you bounce around when you’re being fit, healthy and active.
I know you. You’re a cool action type. You’re the kind of person who appears in promotional photographs for MP3 players. You’re trim, relaxed and “happy”. So are all your “friends”. You’ll need your Sansa C100 to be secure when you’re doing your triathlon training.
Alternatively, if you strap your Sansa C100 to your arm, at least you’ll know where it is when you wake up amongst all the detritus of your worthless life. Is it under the TV remote? Inside that pizza box? No, it’s right there, strapped to your flabby arm.
A second Sandisk Sansa MP3 player reviewed in the same week, you ask? Well, er, yes, because there is literally NO rhyme nor reason behind my product selections.
The Sandisk Sansa C240 is in colour. Colour’s always better than monochrome. On the other hand, it might just play a part in limiting this MP3 player’s battery life to 15 hours.
Music: Not greatly improved by the addition of colour.
I like this MP3 Player. It’s straightforward.
It’s 4GB which is pretty good. It claims to have 20 hours of battery life, which is decent compared to most MP3 players, although it’s still not enough (battery life’s undervalued). It’s also got its capital letters in the right places, which is a welcome change.
My only reservation is its size. It’s about 9cm long. I’m looking at 9cm here and it’s really very small. Surely we’ve reached the point now where MP3 players are small enough? Pocket-small’s good. Easy-to-lose-small’s bad.
It’s got a screen for pictures and videos as well. If you want a screen, you’ve surely got to accept a larger product. It’s a trade-off. Tiny’s good, so long as visuals aren’t involved.
If you’re a music-loving lepidopterist who needs to carry large amounts of life-size photos for work, this is the MP3 player for you.
