This weird multimedia device from MediaStreet houses a solar panel, allowing you to charge your player from the sun and play hours of video clips and gaming ROMs, including Super Mario Bros or Contra Force for Nintendo emulator and Raiden Triad or Street Fighter 2 for Sega. The eMotion Solar PMP features an SD slot, 2GB storage size, e-book reader with text-to-speech function, photo browsing, music and video player, supporting MP3, WMA or AVI. Not only the eMotion can charge itself, the built-in solar panels can be used as charging station for other electronic devices like iPods, but not for iPhones. Though it has a poor GUI, the Solar PMP might be a good bargain for merely $169.

Do me a favor, don’t hang out with this USB bomb drive in your bag, once it goes live. Designed by Joel Escalona, the threatening device might be a nice decoration on your desk but very suspicious on the go. Judging its size, it can host like 500GB of storage or a ton of gunpowder but as we already implied, it is only a prototype, thank god.
