Here's the camper's and globe-trekker's dream: The Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player. It is a wind-up MP3 player that features video playback, a photo viewer, an FM radio, a voice recorder, a line input recorder, a text reader, expandable memory, and a flashlight. You can even use it to charge your mobile phone. The Eco Media Player may be overkill for recreational camping, but it's a perfect boredom-buster for globe trekkers or the extreme outdoorsman.
The Eco Media Player has a high-grip, rubberized surface and the trademark winding handle on the back. Winding it steadily for 60 seconds gave over 30 minutes of music, and the battery can also be charged from a USB socket for up to 20 hours' playing time. A selection of connection cables are provided so that you can charge a mobile phone from the device and it has a small, bright torch built into the top.
The media player has a 4.6cm screen, but it's not as bright and clear as some of its rivals. It plays a range of formats including MP3 and WMA as well as MP4 video. A software converter is provided for videos. An SD card slot in the side can be used to boost the player's 2GB of memory.
Audio can be recorded using the Eco Media Player's internal microphone or by connecting the supplied line-in cable to an audio source. There's also an FM radio, which uses the headphone cable as an aerial. The headphones themselves have an unusual design, but are both comfortable and produce better-than-average sound.
Sound quality in general is good with noticeable bass. If you could use a source of portable power and need a well-configured media player, this is the ideal combination gadget.
The Eco Media Player is designed to be used under circumstances where computers and power sources are few and far between. While its fun to think of all kinds of uses for a wind-up MP3 player, more than likely you'll be using the Eco Media Player outdoors.
For the price, the Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player definitely delivers on accessories. Beyond the usual USB cables and earbuds, you also get a handful of cell phone charger adapters.
