The Sansa Shaker features many ways to listen to and share songs. It has a built-in speaker to enjoy music without ear buds, to play your favorite music, and listen with your friends and family. Plus it comes with two headphone jacks. You also have the ability to play and share SD cards loaded with your favorite songs. Changing songs on the Sansa Shaker is a snap - or rather, a “shake”. You can impress your friends by shaking the device to jump to the next song, or use the colorful controller bands for forward and backward changing as well to manipulate volume.
The Sansa Shaker is brilliantly-designed for children, for adults with impaired hand mobility, and for anyone else who enjoys a fun and different approach to portable digital music! You change tracks or adjust the volume by twisting the easy-to-grasp bands at the top and bottom of the unit, or change tracks by giving the palm-sized unit a firm shake. Wear it around your neck with the included lanyard or carry it comfortably in your hand or pocket.

SanDisk Sansa Shaker (1GB, blue) Reviews From cnet

The good: The SanDisk Sansa Shaker features a simple, kid-friendly design and will be available in a variety of colors. The player is half-toy and shuffles up music when shaken. Fun sound effects when the player is paused or turned on and off add to its appeal. It’s inexpensive and includes an external speaker and two headphone jacks for sharing.

The bad: The flap covering the ports on the bottom of the Shaker may not be durable over time, and the lack of rechargeable battery may not appeal to everyone. The player only supports MP3s.

The bottom line: If you want to get your children started on digital music at a young age, the Sansa Shaker provides a great way to do so: it’s inexpensive, simple, and acts like a toy.
