Sony’s new gadgets don’t need electricity or batteries

Filed under: Gadgets | by :ryan |

Engadget: Sony is showing off a whole range of new environmentally-friendly gear in Japan at the moment, all of which can be used without ever having to be plugged in for a recharge.

One of the more interesting devices is the Spin N’ Snap digital camera (pictured below), which you charge up simply by placing your fingers in the two holes (which also double as a viewfinder) and spinning it around a few times.

Taking a slightly different but equally non-power-hungry route is the Crank N’ Capture camera, which can also apparently capture video of some sort.

Rounding out the line up are the Pull N’ Play stereo headphones, the Push POWER Play device (apparently a viewer of some sort), which you charge by rolling it back and forth on a table, and the “Juice Box,” which packs a fold out solar panel that can be used to charge your other devices.

It appears that all the devices are made of re-used or recycled plastic. Unfortunately, there’s no word on when or if any of them will actually be available.
