Now this is an amazin idea... recharge your gadgets, MP3, photo cams, mobiles etc... with a battery back pack - and you can even recharge it by solar

Just plug a standard car charger into the bag and recharge most small electronic devices including: cell phones, cameras, two way radios, PDA's, even iPods.

but note: is not designed to charge laptops.

• the bag comes with a set of standard adaptors for common cell phones and other devices.
• embedded in the back of the bag are three lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panels which generate up to 4 watts of power. This means quicker charge times!
• inside the bag is a Li Ion battery pack which stores any surplus power generated, so it is available when you need it, not just when the sun is up.

The Voltaic™ backpack is just that kind of gadget I love at first sight when I come across it :-) nifty nifty
