Chinavision's solar-powered MP4 player and Nintendo emulator, for the eco-friendly software pirate : Tech Digest

Don't go killing the planet while playing pirated old Nintendo games!

The Mobile Power Station is being sold as a nice little media player, only, thanks to the Chinese and their total lack of respect for international copyright agreements, it comes with NES, Game Boy and Game Boy Colour emulators pre-installed by the kindly factory workers.

Hardly the most cutting edge of gaming hardware without even Game Boy Advance support, but with a 3.5" screen, e-book playback powers and 2GB of memory space, it's a more than acceptable media player in its own right.

Plus the solar panels can be used to charge your other gadgets via a USB output socket. Which would win it today's Genius Gadget of the Day award, were such an award to exist.

It is safe to say that Apple lead the market in consumer based MP3 / MP4 players. Over the years they have brought innovation in the market, but all at a huge cost to the end customer. Whilst the MP4 market is still relativity new a large range is now available, mostly from China and mostly offering the same features but in different packaging.

MCHMedia www.mchmedia.co.uk is pleased to announce a change in direction for the MP4 player market. Through the media box range it offers true functionality with style. Designed and manufactured in the UK, the media box MP4 players don't conform to the norm, they are larger in size than most of their rivals, this is due to the 4100mAh battery, which gives users over 18 hours of continuous video play. This specification alone makes the media box range stand out from the crowd. Available in 3 versions, the Lite, Max and Touch, a touch screen MP4 Player, all are packed with easy to use features and functions.

The media box range is worth considering when looking for a new MP4 player. The Lite is the MCHMedia entry level player, whilst the Max and Touch are for more seasoned users. The are 6 colours to choose from, and 4 memory options mean you can select the player that best suits your data needs.
