Carry the Power of the Sun on Your Back
New Solar Backpack Offers Inexpensive Charging for Portable Devices
Do you carry a lot of portable devices with you? Well now you can charge them on the go with the new solar backpack from gadget4all.com.
While solar backpacks aren't new, this latest model is priced at just $48 -- less than half the price of the Eclipse Solar Gear Laptop Backpack and one-fifth the price of the popular Voltaic Solar Backpack.
While the Eclipse and Voltaic models offer a few more bells and whistles, Gadget4all's device is no slouch, and comes at a better introductory price point. It comes with a 5.5V solar panel and has an output of 5.8V, allowing it to charge any small portable device such as a cell phone, MP3 player or GPS unit. On cloudy days, it can also be hooked up to a computer's USB port for additional charging capacity.
Worth a look for the road warrior or the student looking forward to the start of school in just six weeks.
The solar eclipse last July
| Karly_X | Jul 24th, 2009The solar eclipse last July 22, 2009 was the longest eclipse of the 21st century, lasting as much as 6 minutes and 39 seconds. Interested persons have look out for the solar eclipse July 2009, as the solar eclipse July 2009 will be the solar eclipse seen by more people than any other eclipse on record. The eclipse will pass from Asia, going over India and Singapore, and will travel southeast across the Pacific Ocean over South America. An eclipse is one of the most interesting lunar/solar phenomena to occur, and it's one of the few a lay person can see without needing fast cash for equipment like a telescope. The sun will completely darken for a period of up to 6 minutes. It could be worth some cash loans to get pics of solar eclipse July 2009.
