Meet Pala-Chan, Toshiba’s cutesy aquatic mascot that will soon be representing the company’s mobile peripheral and accessory line. First up is the 1GB Pala-Chan DAP, which loses it tail to plug into a computer’s USB port and load up on MP3 and WMA files. Pala-Chan and his pink girlfriend, Papu-Chan, have a 15-hour battery life and will sell for about $115 (the only whale-sized feature of the player).
Of course, Pala and Papu cannot live on love alone. That’s why Toshiba will eventually raise the cost of living and force the lovesick couple to move in with Pala’s folks. The names and colors of the parental units, as well as a friend of Pala’s, are currently unknown.

Small capacity whales should be harpooned before birth. Being ba-leen in the memory dept. makes me want to blubber with sorry. I’d breach the subject of battery life, which is ok for this pod of mammal-tastic players. But the deal killer is the lack of a blowhole, obviously done on porpoise.

It works really fine. I’m an spanish girl that found it for just 66euros in there. It’s quite simple and really cute.I’m just sorry about its lag of compatibility, must of the computers I use recognize it once upon a time… but it’s ok; right now I’m searching for linux drivers… but I’m seriously unhopeful
