A-Data has USB drive with solar cell

Written by Richard Blanchard on March 15th, 2006. Posted in Flash Storage, USB News

Due out in April of 2006, A-Data and MSI have introduced a solar powered USB flash drive. Well, the solar cell contributes to running the LCD display to show remaining capacity of the device, now if this thing had a headphone jack for listening to MP3s, they might be onto something. Also seems the solar cells could become another item to break while being tossed around, but we can’t make that armchair judgment until GetUSB reviews one.
