Reviews of the Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player

CNET Review
The Good: The Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player 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 cell phone.
The Bad: The Eco Media Player is bulky, expensive, and includes only 2GB of storage. The music player does not support DRM-protected music, or ID3 tag sorting. Video playback is dim, and the screen is relatively small.
The Bottom Line: The Eco Media Player may be overkill for recreational camping, but it's a perfect boredom-buster for globe trekkers, extreme outdoorsman, or MacGyver.
