WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.120 Linus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by ncx.com, your source 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.360 for great technology, selection, and service along with Corsair memory and 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:14.000 Western Digital. Now, this isn't our first time covering an Eton product, but 00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:19.600 we're going to start with something that'll look a little bit familiar for you guys. So, this is the Rugged Ruckus 00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:24.720 2, which is similar to the old one. That is to say, it's splashproof, drop, very, 00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:28.320 very rugged, and of course, it is a Bluetooth speaker. So, it supports 00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:32.640 Bluetooth 4.0 on the new version. It has an upgraded solar panel with a higher 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.800 amperage output so it can charge your devices better as well as charging its 00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:40.480 own internal battery better. It supports NFC as well as speaker phone unlike the 00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:45.920 old one. And it has improved audio quality. So here's the 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:50.239 uh There we go. There's that USB out on the back. Whatever. We'll do B-roll of 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.079 that. This right here is the Ruckus 00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:56.559 Extreme, which is pretty much that one except more of the same. It has much 00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.039 better quality audio compared to the regular Rugged Ruckus 2. Now, we're 00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:05.000 moving into something that I promised the guys here at the booth I would 00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:11.119 describe as ridiculous. This is the F FRX series. We've got the F FRX4 as well 00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:12.960 as the F FRX 5. They are AM and FM 00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.880 radios. They support general weather alerts as well as local weather alerts 00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:20.880 using SM. There are four different ways 00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.200 of charging these. They can charge by solar. We've come to expect that from 00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:28.880 them. They can charge via a hand crank right there. They can charge using 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.040 alkaline batteries, so you can put them in right there. And finally, they can 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:39.040 charge over USB, so you will pretty much never be stuck in the dark or out of the 00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:42.400 loop because it also supports an LE LED flashlight on the top. The main 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.399 difference between the four and the five is, of course, the increased size of the 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:51.840 LED flashlight, as well as this is the one that supports SM. The last thing 00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:57.840 that I believe I did miss just a moment ago on this one is the fact that it also 00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:01.759 charges your USB devices. So you can use the crank to keep your phone topped up 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:06.479 in an emergency. The last one, speaking of emergencies, is the Blackout Buddy 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.640 CO. So this is just like the regular Blackout Buddy. It plugs into your wall 00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:14.879 outlet and then in the event of a power loss, the flashlight automatically goes 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.640 off on so that you can find it and pick it up and use it as a flashlight. It 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.080 also acts as a nightlight regularly. So, if you cover up the light sensor, it'll 00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:27.760 just have a nice little glow to it. And this one, unlike the original one, also 00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:30.000 has a built-in carbon monoxide detector. 00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:33.200 So, in the event of emergency, it does have a battery on board, so it will 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.920 continue to function. Very cool little piece of technology. Guys, don't miss 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:41.360 any of our CES 2014 coverage online as tech tips.
