Walka 7 and iDrifta Launched In Nigeria

On the 20^th of September DStv Mobile Nigeria officially launched its rumoured handheld television the Walka 7, the second instalment of the “Walka” series and the “iDrifta” the third instalment of the “Drifta” series.

The Walka 7 improves on the original Walka – packing a 200% larger screen while iDrifta is a specialized version of the Drifta adapted for iOS devices. The event was held at the Civic Centre, in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The iDrifta went on sale from the 12^th of September and retails for NGN 9,500 (Nine thousand Five Hundred Naira), while the Walka 7 was available on the shelves that very same day for NGN 18,900 (Eighteen Thousand Nine hundred Thousand Naira). The original Walka which was introduced earlier this year retails for NGN 17,500 (Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred Naira) so that's less than a NGN 1,500 (One Thousand Five Hundred Naira) difference. We are not sure if this is a special launch price or its actual retail price, but if it is maybe the Walka 7 may not have that much to offer.

Popular figures and guests at the event

Our full review and comparison of the Walka 7 and its closest competitors is in the works and will be published very soon, so stay tuned!

iDrifta Launch Price Set for 9,500 NGN & 7 inch Walka rumours emerge

A few months ago we report about a new device for Apple devices that would be introduced to DStv Mobile line up of DVB-H devices in Nigeria, namely the iDrifta. Recently we received and update from our sources that a price had be set for the iDrifta that would be launched in time for the holiday season. A guess what they were right! An update on the DStv website showed that the iDrifta would retail for 9 500 Nigerian Naira.

 This gave use the confidence to talk about another interesting bit of new we’ve come across. I’m sure you’ve heard about the Walka - DStv Mobile’s handheld television. Well a newer version of the Walka is just around the corner which will be packing a 7 inch screen, that’s 200% screen size! That’s all our source had to say but with result of other predictions being correct we feel it seem legit!

A 7 inch Walka does sound awesome. This had us day dreaming about what we want in a 7 inch Walka. A 7 inch screen would mean it could have the option of switching between 4:3 and 16:10, maybe even a HD display? These days a touch screen devices are all the rage, so if DStv decides to scrap all those buttons for a touch interface I think that would be a welcomed addition.

We would like to hear what our readers would want in a new Walka too! Our comment sections have been looking bare lately, so don’t be shy take if for a spin an let your voice be heard.
