SanDisk shakes up Sansa line for the back to school celebration
It looks like SanDisk has decided that a few of its Sansa media players were due for a refresh, and it's now rolled out some changes in hopes of attracting the Back to School masses. Perhaps the biggest change comes to the company's WiFi-equipped Sansa Connect, which retains all the same specs but gets a full hundred dollars knocked off its price tag, with it now coming in at just $150. The other refresh comes to the company's Sansa Shaker line, which gets a new 1GB model that'll retail for $50 -- the existing 512MB can also now be had for a mere $35. Of course, while SanDisk is pitching this as a Back to School promotion, there's nothing to stop anyone from taking advantage of it for themselves.

If it weren't for the earbuds I would have thought these were Sansa Coffee mugs. Keep your drinks warm and plays music too!

It's an interesting idea for me. A DAP back-to-school sale. While I used to fight my school daily regarding the rules against music players in school (which are simply ridiculous) I can't help but wonder what SanDisk thinks they're either going to cause or accomplish. Too much stupid for me. I quit.

This is probably marketed more towards college students...

So, you don't actually *shake* it then.
You can't rumba down the street shakin' ya MP3 marrackas. "When my baybee... when my baby smiles at me I go to Reeeoooo...."
Probably for the best, really.

I was thinking of getting a shaker for my grandma...but after that day when I left her with my sansa e280 and coming back and noticing that she learned how to use it in mere 15 minutes I started considering getting her something more advanced...
Seriously, she surprises me a lot. She played Playstation with me and learned how to use a DVD faster than my mom...
