It does seem more like something with a very specific target demographic, such as the business exec that loves to go white water rafting but can't stay disconnected from the office for more than 2 hours, but it's still a cool idea none the less. I would probably put my lunch inside to keep any water from getting on my sandwich and making all soggy. Though it would be better if they were stackable. That way you could bring multiple ones and just stack them in the back of your car/truck/van/SUV.

That's up to you, though.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/
and if you look at the website vacuumsaver.com, you'll see that in addition to the curious typo in their company name (curious because they have it spelled right in their e-mail address), they're based out of Taichung, Taiwan. As such, I don't think you'll find it outside Taiwan just yet.

Dehumidifying boxes are nothing new in Taiwan, in fact, there's actually a fairly large market for them. Though this is the first one I've seen to use a vacuum. Generally, they're just airtight boxes, and with which you'd use a dehumidifying pack or a packet or dehumidifying pellets (or silical gel). You should be able to get everything you need to make one yourself at a hardware store.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/Not just gadgets either. Powered doors on automobiles have also been known to fail. (The Dodge Grand Caravan comes to mind.)

And really, what's the point of keeping your gear in your car/truck/van/SUV if you can't remotely operate the doors?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/
Is that 30 Celsius? If so, that is nothing. Try Houston Texas with summer temps easily hitting 40 and Gulf humidity that will knock your plane out of the air. I have had laptops, desktops, PDAs, printers, etc.. operate in Houston warehouses (with and without AC) for years with no problems. Even a Comaq survived.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/20/the-vam-anti-moisture-dry-box/

I would rather take my expensive gear (if I had to), in a Pelican case. I have used these to transport HDDs full of movie files for LOTR, and they are very strong and I would trust my life with them. They are also waterproof.
