Has anyone heard anything about the new Hacha PC20s or tried it out for that matter? I ordered a sample unit which should be here next week or early the week after that.

Hacha seems to have fallen under the radar over the past 8 months or so (after being very successful last year) due to quality problems with the PA20 I believe and perhaps taking forever to get the PC20s to market.

The PC20s is a Rockchip 2706 version of the PC20. I have also confirmed that it does come with the FM radio. Thats all I know about it folks. I believe that the Hacha website page on the PC20s is not up to date.
blimey, i thought Hacha had ceased to exist

this was touted about around 5-6 months back when all the new rockchips were coming out of the woodwork, i thought they had given it up as a bad job

They eem to have seriously been left behind in the MP4 race, with Ramos, Onda etc all overtalking them at breakneck speed

where are you getting your sample from

n fact i never even see Hacha mentioned on any of the chinese MP4 sites i vist

so not sure what they are really up tp at all
Yes, Hacha certainly has been left behind but perhaps they might
make a comeback.

I corresponded with a sales rep at Hacha originally back in December (back when the PA20 and PC20 were big sellers) and I also met with them at the CES show in Las Vegas back in January. They showed us some product samples of some upcoming products including some very rough mockups of their disc mp3 players. They even had a larger screen version of the PA20 that looked to have a 3.5" LCD but it was only a mockup and was not working - that was the last I heard about that model.
(as a side note - a Rockchip 2706 version of the PA20 with a larger screen might make a very compelling product)

Anyway - Ive been periodically corresponding with their sales rep from time to time and they finally worked out the hardware and firmware bugs on the PC20s so I ordered a sample of it from them, of course it was supposed to be finished back in the winter but better late than never if its product specifications hold up (late in this industry can be the kiss of death to a product).

Ill post a review when I get it and try it out. The outside is supposed to look exactly the same.
