Black & Decker Storm Station
We haven't received a big snow/ice storm in our neck of the woods yet this year, but when it does finally come and knock out the power, we'll be ready with the Black & Decker SS925 Storm Station ($100). The portable all-in-one machine is a rechargeable power source with an AM/FM/TV audio/weather-band radio, a 25 Watt power inverter, 12 volt recharging port, removable flashlight and a "Find Me Light" that automatically turns on when household power shuts off. It's not a generator, but it'll let you use your phone and charge your PSP until the power comes back on.
