Hacha produces DAP for $15

Chinese manufacturer Hacha has announced the PF02, which is an audio player that should retail for $14.40 USD (99 yuan). Compare this device to the Shuffle, which offers nowhere near as much control, but has a similar storage capacity. Really, if you want to listen to your MP3s cheaply, we’re not sure you can do much better than $14.40. One thing we will point out, however, is that all the buttons are identical, which might make the player a bit hard to operate when it’s in your pocket.

Here’s some stats we’ve been able to figure out:

• The device will play MP3, WMA, and OGG files.
• It uses an SRS audio system
• Measures 2.79 × 0.97 × 0.39 inches (70.9 × 24.6 × 9.8mm)
• Weighs 18.5 grams
• Uses a USB 2.0 connection
• Has a lithium-ion battery with a stated time of 14 hours.

PMP Today states there are other models that have up to 8GB of storage, but we can’t find out exactly where they’re getting that number from. In any case, providing the thing works, $15 for a DAP is not bad.
