This must be added to my wishlist for 2008 and Al Gore's corporate gifts list.
The Voltaic solar bags are a great idea, technology goes towards renewable energy. I personally like anything Solar. For those of us who live in the Middle East- we have lots of Sun, and it would help my increasing Electricity bills too.
Though this is not a first solar bag, yet it is the First one to be able to completely charge a Laptop.
Starting from $199 to $ 599, they are heavily priced, problem is Solar technology or panels are not so cheap yet and we must wait till China helps.
Main features: -Embedded light weight panels
- Tough panels.
- Waterproof
- Bags include standard adaptors for most cellphones and Hand helds.
- Charge by USB cables too.
- Battery packs that store surplus generated power.

The Generator model generates 14.7 watts, enough to fully charge a laptop on a day with direct sunlight. Other bags produce 4 watts which is good for ipods, PDAs, Cellphones, GPS & Cameras.The Best part: Voltaic bags use fabrics made from recycled PET i.e. soda bottles. Recycled PET fabric is light weight, extremely durable, UV resistant and water resistant.
A rather added feature is the indicator that shows your device is charging
Can't wait to get hold of one, wonder if releases in the Middle East or do I have to get it online?
Expected release: Spring 2008.
