Backpack full of power

I think I've already found my Christmas gift wish for this year. True, it's a bit early to be thinking about snowy December, but it's actually the seasonal sunshine that gave me the idea.

Voltaic is a company that designs backpacks and bags that capture the sun's energy and use it as a power source for electrical items such as iPods, cell phones, and GPSs. With small solar panels on the bag itself, as little as an hour of sunlight can keep your iPod pumping for three hours. This is the perfect item for the hikers out there who like to have a little creature comfort available during workouts.

The bag itself appears to be quite durable and big enough to store your water bottles, extra clothing, and even your laptop (you can write an email to your boss once you reach the summit of the mountain, telling him or her that you will be working from home for the rest of the day). And, with the new Generator computer bag, you'll have all the power you need to keep your laptop running.
