Roberts launches first solar DAB radio
Roberts is definitely going to score some major green points with their latest eco-friendly effort - the solar DAB. Not only is it the world's first solar-powered digital radio, but unlike a lot of solar-powered gadgetry, it doesn't need to be in the sun to provide your radio with juice - Marconi would be so proud.
When not directly exposed to sunlight, it is the solar panels and built-in rechargeable batteries that give the solarDAB its energy for up to 27 hours of music listening. It can also run off the mains if you want to reserve its power for when you really need it.
For more selective tunage, or if you're just bored of the radio, simply plug in your iPod or MP3 player for playback. Ten station presets are on offer, as well as soft rubberised controls, a backlit LCD display and a headphone socket.
The solarDab is available in five colours (white, black, red, green and pick) for £79.99.
