What can you say about an MP4 player that will never run out of power and will recharge your cell phone and much more? The imaginatively named â€œSolar Powered MP4 Player 2GB - Mobile Power Stationâ€ is an electronic [Swiss Army](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-multitool) knife.

It is a [NES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-pixel-pocket), GB and [GBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fpgbc) emulator. It can recharge 4.5V, 5V, 6.3V, 9V devices with its solar cells, display E-Books, and has a voice recorder, an SD card and USB slots and even a built in LED flashlight.
