Hippyshopper has news of the latest Trevor Baylis eco-product coming out, in the form of this second generation wind-up media player. Whilst the first had a decidedly 'Hi, I'm an eco product!' look to it, the design of this one puts it amongst the big boys. Crank for just one minute, and you'll get 45 minutes of music playback.
And the specs are completely comparable to other less friendly players. There's music playback of MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV and OGG files, video playback of AVI, WMV and MP4 files, photo and e-book viewing, an internal memory and an SD slot for memory expansion.
You can pre-order yours here for £129.99 and sleep safe tonight in the knowledge you've helped save a bit of rainforest and a tiny bit of iceberg.

You have made me very cross now!!
I must have been one of the first to buy the original media player, and can honestly say it has been a godsend...You only have to get used to the strange looks you get when you need to have a "wind Up" !! but while everybody else is scrambling around for a charger or new batteries I am happily listening to my favourite music tracks.
I did write to the manufacture about the possibilty of a solar charge like their radio, but it's not really viable with the amount of power required and the availability of space for a solar panel. (or so I am told??)
Gwynfor - you're the ultimate eco-early adopter! The rest of us are still only just catching up.
