Quick review

The good
Decent quality screen, range of features
The bad
Unresponsive touchscreen, lack of media control, poor audio performance
Verdict
The MiShake’s biggest failure is in not getting the basics right, namely usability and performance. With little appeal from the Shocktronix system itself there’s a lot left to do to make this player a success

  • It's not really that innovative given the number of similar applications for accelerometer-equipped mobile phones like the Nokia N95. There are plenty of apps that run in the background triggered by movement from simple lock/unlock when you shake the phone, through controlling calls by movement to a full-blown TV remote control based on motion detection.
