 Last
time we talked about MobiBLU, it was all about their ridiculously small
DAH-1500i. MobiBLU has since release a 2 gigabyte version of that player,
but nothing else has changed. The DAH-1500i Cube was good for about 10 hours
of playback, so in theory if you had a long day or if you used it over two
days without recharging, youd run out the battery. So, this week well be
taking a look at the MobiBLU B153 (or DAH-1900), if the packaging is to be
believed. This player claims to be able to go a full 153 hours without
recharging. Is that true? Lets find out!

The
DAP showed up rather unannounced on my doorstep, so I was actually a little
surprised to see it. Opening up the box, the packaging was pretty nice, and
a departure from the box that the Cube shipped in. There is lots of good
information on the box itself, and a clear window to check out the player.
