Thanko Launches Solar Chargeable DAP

02 Jun, 2008, 4:30 pm IST | Shayne Rana | PMPs

Having a good battery life is one of the primary things one would look for when buying a DAP, or for that matter any other portable device. But I’m sure there’d still be a time when you’d probably forget to charge it before a trip and end up with a dead battery. Thanko has managed to devise a viable solution for that problem with their new Solar Digital Audio Player.


This new DAP comes with an integrated solar panel that will charge the battery when there's no USB equipped device to do that for you. Besides having a 'Sun Charge' feature, the DAP has a 1.8-inch display with a 220 x 176 pixel resolution and 4 GB of internal memory as well as miniSD external memory support. It supports MP3/WMA/WAV for audio and AVI/RM/VOB/DAT/RMVB video file formats.


Thanko has unfortunately not started distributing their products in India, though it’s possible you’ll find them in the gray market, so there’s no official price attached to this DAP.
