Voltaic Systems has created a solar laptop messenger bag so that you never have to go without cellphone, PDA, iPod or whatever else needs power. So how does it work? The bag comes with a 2,200mAh Li-Ion battery pack inside it which is charged via solar power or if you are unfortunate enough to live in Michigan in the winter then you can plug the bag in with an AC adaptor. Then you just plug whatever needs power into the bag’s batter pack with one of the 11 included standard adaptors and thats it. Pretty cool and at $239 thats not too bad for a cool bag, battery pack and all of the other accessories.

Note: We at FreshTrend originally were under the impression that the bag could charge a laptop but one astute reader noticed otherwise. Anyway its still useful and a pretty sweet idea, but I guess the days of finding a seat near a wall outlet at Panera Bread will continue for us all.

There is also a Solar Backpack available from Voltaic Systems if you prefer it over the messenger bag.
