Oppo D36 - Adding classy back to thumb MP3 flash drives

Oppo has announced their new D36 MP3 player, it is a mix between a thumb flash driver and MP3 Player (so no need to carry a USB cable around with you). Oppo has definitely gone with a far more classy style than what we have seen from other Chinese brands releasing similar thumb MP3 flash drives.

Many Chinese MP4 makers have been coming out in the last month with new MP3 players, much like the D36, this is because the China market still has significant demand for such players and also because of the release of the Sigmatel 3710 chip - the 3710 chip apparently has very good audio quality and allows for 70 hours (that’s right 70) of continuous audio playback on a full charge, oh and players using this chip only need to charge for about 40minuts for a full charge.

We speculate pretty much sure the Oppo D36 will also have the Sigmatel 3710 chip at its core. No word on release date, but the going price for similar players with 2GB of memory is usually just under RMB$200, about USD$30.00
