Because batteries have a limited shelf life, that flashlight you've been saving for an emergency might not actually work when you need it to. So instead of stocking up on candles, grab a couple of these tiny emergency lights from Eton that simply need you to add water to keep them lit for three full days.
Unless you own a RAZR MAXX, chances are good that your phone's battery is going to die by the end of the day. So you can either gird yourself for another fun-filled bus ride staring out the window or you can get the one of Eton's three new Boost Turbine backup batteries.
New gadgets take the spotlight at CES. And though we're occasionally blinded by the bright, shiny things, we know where our loyalties lie. Behind the barrage of posts and sprinting between booths, the real stars of the show are the tried and true bits of gear we're using behind the scenes. Particularly that from …
Etón's upgraded its Rukus solar-powered portable Bluetooth speaker with a fancy new Tonka-tough, splash-proof outer housing letting you take it camping—or anywhere outside the safety of your home—without having to baby it. And as long as the sun's shining, the Rugged Rukus may never run out of power.
I get lost constantly when I visit NYC, and keeping Google Maps open with Wi-Fi and GPS on spells near-instant death for my phone's battery. No power means no map means I'm SOL. But with the Eton Power Turbine 2000 in my bag, I could just hand-crank some juice into my phone. That means I won't have to worry about…
Eton has made a name for itself with a line of emergency devices—like flashlights and radios—that don't require an outlet to stay powered. And its new BoostTurbine backup batteries promise to keep your other devices perpetually powered too, as long as you've got the energy to crank its built-in folding handle.
San Francisco's climate isn't exactly ideal for solar-powered gadgets, in that the appearance of the sun is a rare and fleeting occasion. But the output, battery life, and sound clarity you get from the sun-sucking Eton Soulra XL boombox are surprisingly decent.
Know why I love living in California? The. Beach. However! There aren't many plugs out there. That's where the Eton Soulra XL iPhone/iPod speaker dock can come in.
The Eton Road Torq is a simple device: toss it in your car (where you hopefully never have to use it). In the event you do need it, dig it out from under the seat, crank the dynamo for two minutes and use the 1 watt LED light for 15 minutes. Alternately, you can pop out the tripod legs, flip the flash light head open…
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 also juices-up your phone through the miniUSB port.
Eton radios look so cool. They're usually battery or crank powered, but this one also has solar charger.
Can you imagine all the little Eton brothers and sisters sitting around the dinner table, when in walks the Eton P'9120? Its speakers and remote are different...not like mommy or daddy's at all. Awwwwkward. Anyway, the Eton P'9120 is a Porsche-designed Eton iPod dock packing an alarm clock and XM satellite radio…
The Beef: I am not a shortwave enthusiast, by any means, but the industrial design, open for a literal interpretation on the industrial. It's got AM, FM, shortwave, longwave, SSB and aircraft band frequencies. There's a scan or manual input by 10-key. And check the analog gauge and yellow-glow back lighting. Very…
Awesome: The Eton FR1000 Voicelink is maybe one of the most pornograpic survival radios I've ever seen, but functionally so. IT has AM/FM/NOAA Weather/2-Way GMRS Radio. And a Flashlight, siren, and Cellphone charger. It runs off of 4AAs, but has a hand crank. The design seems superfluous, but those cutouts actually…
In our last semifinals match in our iPod Dock Bracket, the diminutive Eton Sound 100 iPod battles the buff Altec Lansing IMV712. It's Porsche vs. Corvette, surf vs. turf, briefs vs. boxers—it's a competition for the ages, and the winner has a 50/50 chance at taking it all home.
Round two of our iPod Dock Bracket continues as three docks battle it out for our eternal love and loyalty...until the next round. It's heavyweights iHome iH52 and XtremeMac Tango duking it out in the same ring as the welterweight Eton Sound 100 iPod. Who will win? Why would you even read the teaser anymore? Just hit…
Dropping Monday is Eton's new iPod/Sirius lovechild, the Sound 101. It comes equipped with built-in Sirius satellite radio, AM and FM tuners alongside a traditional iPod dock. The sleek, sexy box (available in black, white or silver—sorry, no camo option here) sports a 24-hour alarm clock and comes with a remote…
Eton's FR300 emergency radio is an update to one released last August. It still retains weather radio, flash light, TV audio and hand crank-ability. It'll also charge your cellphone for good measure. Now it's got a coat of camouflage paint, kinda like Rambo.
No doubt Eton makes some gorgeous electronics. Its Porsche radios, which always look as good as they work, are obviously made with the same care to design as to engineering. This year at CES, the company is showing a few things. Its et n E1 XM combines four radio technologies—AM/FM/Shortwave/XM Satellite…
