Eton FR-300: Hand crank your boredom away

The Eton FR-300 may not be much to look at but this may end up being a life saver in emergency situations such as storms and black outs. The FR-300 is basically a hand-cranked radio that is also capable of receiving TV audio -- which is great if there's a power interruption during your favorite "Telenovella".

Apart from providing some distraction during emergencies, this baby also comes with different cables that enables it to charge different brands/models of cellphones. Now, during *real* emergency situations, this is where this little gadget will shine: by providing its owners a means to recharge their cellular phones. The FR-300 can also come in handy during hiking and camping.

Now, if only these are available locally...
