Stephen Fry reviews the Eco Media Player from Trevor Baylis which means, yes, it’s a wind-up mp3 player. “One minute via the wind-up handle provides 40 minutes of audio play.” One thing that’s always struck me about iPods, etc is they assume you’re always going back to your computer at the end of the day. If you’re off into the wilds then even an iPod with a new battery ain’t gonna cut it. Oh, and is also has a torch. Genius.

About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.
