"It gives you bright colors in MP3 players to enjoy, digital music in a very fun, easy way and also introduces interactive entertainment. You can shake the device to trigger sound effects and shake it to change songs. It's a new way of interacting with an MP3 player."

"Number one, it's got a built in speaker on top so you can hear music and put it down on the table, sit around with your friends and family and all listen and enjoy music.
