Solar-powered FM Radio

Flexio is this really awesome radio that’s solar powered and portable. I’m willing to overlook the “only one fixed FM channel” stand for the cute little paper packaging it comes in. I’m sure the dynamics of manufacturing this are going to be reasonable, because one can even use it for promotions and gifts…like ask someone to advertise on its package. The innovative factor comes from the flexible speaker & flexible solar cell. It’s designed to be used within the station-waves range, but could be modified to receive internet radio via WiFi or WiMax.

This Radio are very interesting ,the design of the shape of this radio just like a pakage of small tissue ,also ,it use solar energy for main energy input ,which is very environmental friendly .
But i think that each radio can only receive one channel are not effective ,beacause no one will just listen to one channel all the time .
Totally ,this radio must fit the one who only listen to horse racing .
