Solar Powered Jacket available for pre-order
We'll admit it, we've been known to sport the odd piece of technology-meets-clothing occasionally, but we're having a hard time getting excited as we should be about the Solar Powered Jacket from SCOTTeVEST. The solar panels on the back can charge a small battery contained inside the jacket, but you have to stand in direct sunlight for about 2 to 3 hours sun (which would be kinda hot with a jacket on,
eh?). From there you can plug in and juice up any USB powered devices like Pocket PCs, iPods, Spot Watches, etc...
P.S. – Awhile back we showed you how to build your own USB solar charger, maybe we'll do a wearble version of the How-To and see if we can keep it below the $534.98
(pre-sale price) of the SCOTTeVEST.
