Solar Radio Doubles As USB Charging Multitool for Adventurers [Solar Radio]

Eton’s Raptor doesn’t know if it’s a radio, a weather-gauge or a bottle opener. An inbuilt solar-panel charges the li-Ion battery, powers the AM/FM/digital tuner, and in addition juices-up your phone during the miniUSB port.

Planning an expedition through uncharted territory? You furthermore mght get a compass, chronograph, altimeter and barometer to keep you on target and informed of atmospheric conditions. There’s a clip in your utility belt and obviously, it’s rubberized for waterproofing and shock protection. There’s even a line-input for amplifying your iPod, too.

And the feature you’ll probably emerge as using one of the most? The bottle opener for sure. On sale soon, for an unspecified amount. [ Eton via Engadget via Inhabitat ]
