Keeping with our current theme of looking at the coolest gadgets out there this new year, the Eton Grundig FR200 self-powered 3-in-1 radio, flashlight and cell-phone charger ((the BBQ part might just be a joke). No batteries required. The Hand-Crank Power Generator gives you unlimited power for AM/FM radio, 7 international Shortwave bands, built-in white LED flashlight, and cell phone battery life when you need it most…when the power goes out.

It also has an earphone jack, for when you want to keep your emergency information to yourself.
