Here at EthicalSuperstore.com we love a good gadget... and this beats most gadgets hands down! The current wave of digital media players has one crucial flaw - too long away from a source of power, and they run out of juice, and become little more than hi-tech bricks. Trevor Baylis, inventor of the windup radio and all round clever guy has solved this problem in his usual enterprising fashion, whilst creating a piece of kit to make even the most hard to please gadget fanatics purr.
Not content with simply being a piece of technological genius, the Eco Media Player is the very definition of convergence, playing as it does music, video and fm radio, as well as functioning as a torch, sound recorder, photo viewer, mobile phone charger, ebook viewer and data storage device. Oh, and if you want to, you can even record your old vinyl LPs onto it to truly bring your music collection into the digital age! If there's anything else on the market that's as versatile, we'd love to see it... and the trailer you need to carry it around with you.
The Eco Media Player features a 1.8in screen, and 2 gigabytes of internal memory, which holds around 500 songs, and this can be expanded by adding an SD Memory Card.
Compatibility
The Eco Media Player requires a PC for use. It is currently not compatible with Mac OS.Press Reviews
...For all its quirkiness, perhaps because of it, I love this little thing. It could have just traded on the eco aspect of its power generation and Baylis’s name. But it offers more than that. It is robust, clever without being pleased with itself, useful and appealing. And, as with people, I like it because it likes me...Stephen Fry - The Guardian, 24/11/2007
