Voltaic Solar Backpack
Juniper Foo | Nov 08, 2004
About time someone combined solar panels with a backpack into a portable solar powerhouse. This should find a ready market here with most Singaporeans already lugging backpacks as part of their street wear, and armed with a minimum of one cell phone, PDA, MP3 player and even a compact camera. While the panels may be waterproof, hopefully the same smart folks have included a rainhood for the Voltaic since it's about as pricey as that iPod it's charging up. A pity the solar backpack isn't capable of juicing up laptops, for now.
