MobiBlu DAH-1900 claims longest battery life

Looks like MobiBlu has trouble releasing a new audio player without some sort of superlative attached to it. After doing their best to hold onto the "world's smallest" crown held by the DAH-1500, the company has now rolled out the DAH-1900, which comes with a new claim, that of the world's longest battery life. According to MobiBlu, the flash player can run for up to 153 hours on a charge. Of course, to achieve that kind of endurance, the player doesn't include the ability to show videos or pics, though it does include an OLED display, an FM radio and support for MP3, WMA and PlaysForSure. A 2GB comes in at $275, which seems somewhat steep for a flash player -- though if you're, say, Richard Branson, and need something that'll run for nearly a week while you're up there in your balloon, it just might be worth it (and, of course, if you're Richard Branson, you're not exactly going to worry about the price).

...and if you're Richard Branson you would just hire all your favourite bands to join you on said balloon so you wouldn't need an MP3 player.

I think that the long battery life really makes it worth the price.

That's the crazy, tax-tastic EU price; it's much cheaper over here. You can buy the 1GB version from MobiBlu America for $129.99 US right now.

>>If that thing had a removable battery, id consider it.

you don't really need a removable battery with a 153hours
battery life!

I have a Sony HD3 with 30hours battery life, I listen minimum 3 hours of music per day! I get really mad when it beeps ( low battery! )The HD5 has a removable battery with a 40hours life!

This is kinda ugly! It seems as though they had enough room for a larger display, and why does it have to say "Digital Audio Player?" It makes it look like a knock-off.

Finally a dap with a decent battery life. I had a walk man that could play for 48 hours on a single AA batery. My MD player could run for 72 hours on a battery.
And the batery life of an ipod 30 GB? Just 14 hours,
