Solar Powered Laptop - might come in handy.

I got this through on a mailing list today so thought I'd pass it on. It's another one of those teeny solid-state memory computers - like an EEEPC, but it's got a built in solar panel.



What if keeping your laptop charged was as simple as setting it out in the sun? That’s the promise behind a brand new netbook that may just break the biggest barrier to ultra-portable computing: battery life. It won’t run graphics-heavy computer games, but iUnika’s new $180, 1.5 pound solar-powered Gyy netbook is ideal for anyone looking for an inexpensive on-the-go computing solution....

So now all we have to do is work out where to put it on a moving bike so the solar panel's exposed to the sun.

Sounds like you could put inside the map pockets of a tankbag to expose it to the sun. Neat idea.
