Fisher-Price Kid-Tough FP3 Player (blue) Review
The good: As advertised, the FP3 is durable; it's also immediately taken to by its target audience; expandable via SD card; you can purchase additional songs and stories from the FP3 online site or rip your own CDs; firmware is upgradeable; doesn't get too loud.
The bad: The FP3 headphones' foam earpieces come off too easily; not Mac compatible; Fisher-Price uses a proprietary format for purchased songs and stories as well as ripped CDs; pricey for a 128MB player.
The bottom line: The Fisher-Price FP3's minor weaknesses don't keep it from being the ideal way into the world of portable audio for kids.
