The new hand-crank portable FM/AM radio “ICF-B01” from Sony is one gadget you’ll not want to be without!  Especially if you live in a hurricane or tornado region and certainly if you have children or care for the elderly.

This AM/FM radio has a flashlight and a cell phone charger. The wind-up generator stores its charge in a built-in nickel electric battery but the radio can also be powered by 2 batteries. One minute of cranking provides up to one hour of Am reception, 40 minutes of FM and cell phone charge lasts for 3 minutes. The battery will give approximately 50 hours of Am and 40 hours of FM listening, 30 hours of LED light and cell phone charge lasting 20 minutes.

The hand crank radio will be available June 10th for $54 according to Gizmodo.
