Until manufacturers give in to the three people who've been clamoring for flashlight-equipped MP3 players, the Intelligent Lantern from Norm Thompson will likely reign supreme among the toe-tappin' campfire crowd.

Featuring a digital clock, AM/FM radio with local weather courtesy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, integrated speakers, and the ability to hook up to an MP3 player or other audio source, the 9-inch tall lantern runs off of six C batteries or the included AC adapter and car charger.

Oh, and it can help you see things in the dark too (its light is visible from a mile away). Available now for $40.
