If you've ever owned a Jack-in-the-Box, then you're already trained on how to use Trevor Baylis' Eco Media Player Revolution. But rather than being traumatized by some creepy crown, you'll instead be rewarded with about 45 minutes of music in return for one minute of cranking on the integrated handle.
This second generation media player comes ready to handle just about any media format you can toss at it, including MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, and OGG, along with AVI, MP4, and WMV video formats. The company says the 4GB of internal flash memory will store up to 2,000 songs, and an SD card slot gives users the ability to double up the storage ante.
Getting back the hand-crank, not only does it power the Revolution, but it can give your cell phone a quick boost too. A minute of cranking earns you about 5 minutes of talk time, provided one of the five included adapters fits your brand of phone.
What are your thoughts on this thing? Hit the jump and let us know.

I'd see this as a great backup for when my regular player runs out of power. and/or keep it in the car for those emergencies where you need a quick cell charge, or... you know...need emergency personal music.

Ok all this eco nonsense is getting ridiculous. I mean an mp3 player that you have to hand crank? A pc you have to hand crank? Green computing initiatives...I mean come on. I know Al Gore invented the internets and all but this is getting ridiculous. His silly little movie has infested every entertainment genre out there. What's next "green gaming". Sheesh

The only real application that I see for this whole going green by making me sweat my butt off to use a device (not to say that's what this mp3 player is by any means) is how they have those stationary bikes hooked up to TVs and the like to power them. I personally think that's actually a cool method of getting people a bit more in shape and a bit more "green" if you will. I'd never hook my computer up to one of those because I wouldn't want to get tired and lose all my work, but just having my monitor hooked up to something that I had to exert physical effort to use would at least force me to combine exercising with something I actually enjoy doing.
Seems like a novel idea but

Seems like a novel idea but that thing is way too big for me to actually consider it.
Ok, I guess
