Eco Media Revolution: Part PMP, Part Mobile Phone Defibrillator
Posted by Mark Wilson at 7:00 AM on September 25, 2008
The original Eco Player was a wind-up PMP that offered 40 minutes of music per one minute of cranking. It was chunkier than a nano, but it also wasn't gonna run out of juice in the Himalayas, either. The new Eco Media Revolution is the sequel, a 4GB A/V player that also packs and SD card reader, FM radio and can charge your mobile phone. Apparently a minute of cranking is equivalent to one emergency call. And if only we had some cool wilderness adventure to go on, we'd shell out the $US240 in a heartbeat for one of our own.

If it has an iPhone connector, I'd get one in a heartbeat.
Of course, then everyone would wonder what I was doing making repetitive motions under the table.
"I'm cranking! Honest!"

Wait... so I can use it to recharge my phone, which happens to be an iPhone... So why would I need a media player in it? Hmm... methinks that defeats the purpose slightly...

I've always wanted to re-trace the trail of the Donner party. Who wants to join me? I'm hungry for adventure.

$240?? I bought a Red Cross branded flashlight/radio/solar/crank generator/cellphone charger made by Eton for about $200 less. Granted, it doesn't have a media player built in, but that's what the phone is for.
