Product Description

The Juice Box Personal Media Player is entertainment in the palm of your hand. Mattel created this amazing, innovative way for you to watch your favorite movies, music videos and television shows whenever, wherever you want. It's one of the smallest and lightest personal media players available.

The pocket-sized Juice Box has a high-resolution, full-color, 3-inch LCD screen. Pop in your favorite Juiceware media cartridge (cartridges sold separately), and you're ready to watch your favorite cartoons, TV shows, movies and more. One sample cartridge is included, with content from Cartoon Network and Vans Triple Crown. It also plays downloaded music from MP3 files and displays digital photos, with the help of an MP3 Starter Kit (sold separately). Juice Box also features a built-in speaker and a headphone jack for your own headphones. Go ahead and toss it in your backpack or pocket -- the flip lid will protect the screen from scratches.

Unit measures approximately 4" x 5" by 1.5". Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries, not included. (A/C power adapter also available separately.)

I love this thing. Okay So I am 22 years old but I happen to be a cartoon freek so I bought one. I also bought the MP3 kit. The Mp3 sounds better then my Rio and it was easier to use. I see that there are music videos available as well.

I also downloaded jpegs into it. So I actully showed my girlfriend pictures that my mom sent me on my Juice Box. I guess I will never grow up.

When you think about it, I bought a video and MP3 player that also plays digital photos for under $100.00. My room mate has a I-pod that cost $300.00 and it can't even do 1/3 of what my Juice Box can do.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Nice Player Is A Nice Buy, November 23, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Juice Box Personal Media Player - Blue (Electronics)

The juicebox is an overall good media player for kids. I am a 12 year old boy, and I am going to get an MP3 player. When I was reasearching which ones to buy, I did consider looking at the Juicebox Portable Media Player. It was only a small consideration, but other than that, I had to look into it. Its a bit small and doesn't have an armband, but its high resolution was worth it. Now, its durability info is not known, so I would think it might break if you drop it (8 out of 10 chance you will). A 3 inch screen is a great feature. Although, you have cartriges you can use. This now takes it out of a good MP3 Player a bit. Most MP3 Players use memory by gigabytes or megabytes) The MP3 Player itself holds your files, not the cartriges. The Juicebox Portable Media Player has cartriges as memory. The Juicebox also has low battery life. 6 hours is not enough for a big Juicebox fan. You need to consider that while buying big time. I got to try out the Juicebox myself at Toysrus, and it wasn't too bad (to be true). But it still had losses and had those problems I have told you about. The headphones are not bad, but you might need to want to get new headphones (headphone jack fits for any headphones). Please consider other MP3 Players before buying the Juicebox Portable Media Player.

Juicebox is a pretty cool gadget. I got it as a gift, and like it so far!

Pros:
-Durable
-Plays mp3s
-Can download pictures into it
-Plays cartoons and other shows
-Bigger screen than video now
-Shows come in color

Cons:
-MP3 kit does NOT come with it. You have to pay an extra $40 dollars for it
-Not the clearest picture in the world
-Annoying at first, as your hand tends to go right where the speaker is when holding it
-Picture isnt as good as you might see in stores that demo it
-Limited number of cartoons/shows to purchase at the moment

So any parents out there who want to buy this for a loved one, or any kids who want parents to get it for you, just keep in mind:

Indeed, this neat video player is good, and to some kids, will probably appeal to you greatly, but remember something. That if your buying it just to watch cartoons, just watch it on your televison instead. The only time you may need it is on long car trips.

If your buying it for music, then i would recommend it, as it is cheaper than an ipod ;-)

Sorry that my review isnt very 'filling' if you will, just think of this as an appetizer compared to the others :)
