Possible highly useful for QRP or emergency work Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Haven't usd it personally, however a friend has who uses it for various MP3, IPOD and other power guzzlers when he is out hiking etc.
Below are the details as provided from the vendor.

The Voltaicâ„¢ solar bags are mobile power generators, designed to charge your devices without tying you to a power outlet, which makes them ideal for traveling.

Just plug a standard car charger into the bag and recharge most small electronic devices including: cell phones, cameras, two way radios, PDA's, and MP3s. Note: it is not designed to charge laptops.

If you don't have a car charger, the bags come with a set of 11 standard adaptors for common cell phones and other devices. We also offer a full range of optional adaptors.

Embedded in the outside of the bags are three lightweight, tough, waterproof solar panels which generate up to 4 watts of power. This means quicker charge times!

Inside each 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 battery pack can also be charged using an AC travel charger or car charger (both included). This makes the Voltaicâ„¢ bags just as useful on the grid as off.

To my mind add a gell pack or a couple of the vendor Li-Ion packs in series and a serious contendor for the QRP, Yaesu-817 crowd
