Wait, FOUR AA's? It plays only audio? And it gets just eight hour of battery life?!? Sounds like the least efficient gadget to come around in a long time. Hell, my cassette Walkiman used to do better than that in the 80's on two AAs, and it had all kinds of, you know, moving parts. Did this company's engineers get hit with the spiked end of the clubbed end of the retard stick a few too many times, or is the player part of a secret cabal of battery manufacturers?
Still, kinda funny though. I wonder if you can use the colossal remote to control it.
I saw this at a Walgreens yesterday... The poor battery life is (most likely) because it has built-in speakers. Cheap speakers = low efficiency = poor battery life.
Just strap-on some 6V lantern batteries and you can be the hit of the party!
