Recharge your mobile phone, MP3 while skiing

[Mike]

A new device, the nPower PEG by Temont Electronic , allows you to recharge your phone, MP3 player or other hand-held devices using the energy you generate while skiing.
The device is small enough to put in a backpack. As you move, your PEG captures and stores your kinetic energy, providing you with extra power for your cell phone, GPS, Mp3, or other hand-held device while you're on the go. Retail price: US$149.99.

The size and design are quite good for outdoor activities.

My experience is - the extreme cold temperature drains the battery very quickly. So unless one keeps the equipment (& battery) wrapped up, it won't work. :icon_giveup:
