Sometimes technologists are too stupid for own their own good. This is one of those times.

Crappy quality product with gimmicks, yep, this is one of 'em.

i donno, you have to admit it's got some cool features:

The player also has a photo viewer and a TXT file reader, along with a game emulator that'll run NES, GameBoy, and Sega game ROMs. Oh, and if you get lost in the woods, the built-in LED flashlight can help you find your way back to the tent.

of course i would never buy one, but it's sort of neat nonetheless.

Yes, it's cool if you like toys with gimmicks.

While they are out on their boats, the GreenPeace crew will have something to play with.

it would be great if something like this comes out...
then we wont have to charge our players again and again..
just keep them near a window while working in the office and pick it back while leaving..

 

[impressive]

hahaha

well the technology is moving with time..
correction.. technology is moving faster than time..

just imaging how much pollution had to be generated when they produce a player like that.....

then three years later, it will be outtaday and end up in the land fill.... Yeah, go green, make more waste.

 

[HardHeadCase]

What if it rains?

 

[chesterqw]

i rather build something everyone will never replace then one that will be thrown away in 2 hours.

 

[shigzeo]

well, cool idea. a little big, but eventually, just like the famous solar powered flashlight it will have a wonderful place in history

on the other hand, if a peace corp dude got dispatched to somewhere in Africa, he might want to get one of these and not have to find batteries in some remote villages..... Probably become the standard gear of the peace corp.


If that thing actually last, that is.
