4.0 out of 5 stars More than specs would imply, April 26, 2008

By	C. Jones "bargain junkie" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Spongebob Media Player 1G Silv (Electronics)

I picked up one of these at Target primarily because of the price; it was a clearance item. I'm a bargain hunter by nature and necessity. I admit I wasn't expecting much for the money, but I was mistaken.

Though Nickelodeon branded, it is an Imation/Memorex product and pretty well-built. It doesn't have too many buttons and its design is attractive and functional. Though targeted for children, it is large enough to be held comfortably by an adult.

The built-in USB rechargeable battery still had enough life in it at the time of purchase to bring the device to life and surprise me by the brightness and sharpness of the screen. It held three Nickelodeon video previews which ran smoothly and with surprising clarity for an item built for the younger set. It plays WMV (Windows Media Video)only, but Windows Media Player 10 or above will convert many video formats when you sync to the device, so it's not a big problem. There are also SD cards available with episodes of Nick shows on them, if you so desire.

Oh, yes, the specs didn't point this out but in addition to the built-in gigabyte of internal memory, there is an SD expansion slot tucked away at the bottom. When you sync to Media Player 10 you can sync media to either the internal or external memory easily. With flash memory so cheap these days, your storage capacity is virtually limitless.

I popped in an SD card full of pre-loaded MP3s and the device immediately recognised this and I could play songs with ease. The volume isn't quite as high as one some devices---I am sure to protect tiny ears from damage---but it is loud enough. The built-in equalizer also which comes in handy.

So for the money, I give this little device a pretty good rating. I can play music, download the latest home-video to show friends and co-workers, run a slide-show of family pics and play a couple of simple Java-based games all for less than a c-note.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for kids and adults, July 1, 2009

By	D. Shaw "sister D." (San Diego) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Spongebob Media Player 1G Silv (Electronics)

This is one of the best purchases I ever made. I bought one for my daughter and myself. She is seven and likes playing music and games on it. I downloaded a bunch of free games from the internet onto it and they work. (I had to put them in the JAVA folder and add both jar and jad files.) There are few toys that kids will regularly play with for more than a week. This is one of them. As for me, I wanted am mp3 player that had a screen so I would see what is playing. It also has the album cover art. I have also saved pictures on it, which are viewable. The SD card capability is what sold me. I don't even concern myself over the internal space. Oh, the original use was playing cartoons during for my daughter. The videos play nicely. Everything I ever wanted. Very compact.

I bought this for a Christmas gift for my five year old grandson. I preloaded it with stories from the Robert Munsch website and bought books to go along with it. I haven't given it to him yet, but I know he will love it, because I do! It was easy to work with, loaded well, sound is great and is just a super little mp3. I also loaded some video from PBS and it worked great.
