1. As I write this, the photo is not of the new Freeplay Companion, but of the Freeplay Devo, an FM/DAB radio (DAB is Digital Audio Broadcast, not used in the USA where HD Radio has been adopted iteasnd). I hope the photo will be replaced, but in any case you can see the Companion .2. Commenter Comedian refers to our original spring design. The spring was a great innovation for its time, but we switched to a direct-charge alternator system as soon as we could perfect it because of many advantages, one of which is that our new system is even tougher than the old. Comedian is quite correct that lesser current competitors use a cheap version of the same thing; our system is superficially similar but does work differently (it s patented) and furthermore uses more expensive materials like Neodymium Iron Boron magnets (I think everyone else uses the cheap ceramic ones which are far less effective). With Freeplay products you have to crank less than with competitors , and they last much longer too. I can easily understand why Comedian would be concerned that, at such a low price, the Companion wouldn t be any better than the competition, but fear not! The Companion does require more cranking than our more expensive products do for the same listening/shine time, but it s still a great product.3. Anonymous is concerned about who buys Freeplay products. A large percentage of Freeplay s sales is of Lifeline and Scout radios which were designed specifically for Aid Development use something no other company has done, so to think that Freeplay has somehow abandoned those in need is really quite off the mark. Sales to yuppies and other people in developed countries help Freeplay Energy donate part of its revenue to the Freeplay Foundation, which (along with other organizations such as UNICEF and CARE) buys and distributes these radios that bring valuable information to people who would otherwise be quite isolated in places like Rwanda and Afghanistan. Tom Hanks (the Foundation s US ambassador) and eBay are currently (Jan. 22-Feb. 1) auctioning 10 autographed Lifelines as a fundraiser for the Foundation yuppies and everyone else can see the auctions and bid .Rohan JayasekeraFreeplay Energy
