The green trend has always been finding new ways to harness renewable energy. The Shiro SQ-S Solar Media Player has also jumped onto the green bandwagon with its solar panel dominating its back as an alternate power source to good old USB. Though, even under direct sun, the Shiro still needs a full 6 hours to completely recharge the PMP’s internal battery; USB cuts recharging time to 4 hours, in comparison. This isn’t bad knowing you won’t be leaving more carbon footprint during camping.
The Shiro Solar PMP actually passes as a decent MP3 player with wide range of audio support for WMA, WAV, M4A, FLAC, APE, and OGG, and its FM tuner may make for an emergency radio since the player is technically self-sufficient in power. Its 1.8″ 128×160 CSTN 65k color screen however looks like it comes from some leftover supplies back in the early 2000s. But seriously, if Shiro has to make this PMP commerically available, why not try to materialize this Bonsai Solar Tree instead.Permanent Link
