Solar and wind power -- what's not to like?
This seems like a useful addition to your disaster kit, for hi-tech gear running on rechargeable batteries. The manufacturer hypes it for its "Green" qualities, but it appeals to global warming skeptics and war-backing neocons, too.
The HyMini can run on solar power, wind power, or conventional 110 or 220-volt house current and then be used to power any 5-volt device, like digital cameras, cell phones and iPods.
I ordered one; we'll see if it lives up to the promise.

That looks pretty cool. I checked out the site. Please put up a review when you get it.

Sounds pretty neat. And the "bean"y form factor isn't bad either. Let us know how you find the use thereof kthnxbye.
