Roberts, who we have featured before, have now released a solar powered DAB radio, a first in the UK. The SolarDAB can be solar, battery, or mains powered, and the built in rechargeable battery pack is being recharged whenever the unit is in the sunshine. Once charged, Roberts claim it will last 27 hours before needing another recharge. It comes it green, pink, red, white or black, includes a headphone socket and an mp3/iPod line-in socket. At a price around £79.99, it also seems good value for a device that won’t need charging too often.

Maybe not so great in the depths of an English winter but it’s very nice. I wonder if there is a wind-up version, like the wind-up analogue radios you can get too?
