Sick and tired of walking under a brutal sun, only to have your portable electronic devices die out on you when you finally reach your destination?

OK, all melodramatics aside, if you wish to harness the power of the sun wherever you go, the Solar Backpack By Eclipse Solar Gear is just the thing to bag it.

Featuring an integrated solar panel that provides up to 4 Watts of power through a single 12V charging outlet, the Solar Backpack can keep your cell phone, iPod, PDA, MP3 player, and many other portable electronics charged with a standard 12V power adapter — just like the one you use in your car (not included).

Constructed from recycled materials, the Solar Backpack’s main compartment fits laptops up to 15 inches, and includes a padded and contoured waist strap, back panel, and shoulder straps for comfortable all-day wear. Plus, its extra pockets securely hold water bottles, accessories, and other small items — making this sack of sunshine extremely functional for everyday use.

Perfect for keeping navigation devices or walkie-talkies charged when hiking, to charge your iGadgets at the beach, or simply keep your e-reader powered while commuting, the Solar Backpack By Eclipse Solar Gear is available at SmartHome.com in three different colors: Black/Orange or Black/Gray for $179.96 and Camo for $199.96.

We all love cooling down at the beach, or at the water park…especially on these hot summer days! But NOT everyone loves dragging 20 lbs of beach towel weight everywhere they go. If that sounds like you, the Pocket Towel Microfiber Travel Towel is here to help!

The Pocket Towel is made of ultra-fine woven microfiber, which when carried in the included compact neoprene pouch — easily fits in the palm of your hand. It measures a tiny 9 x 9 x 5.5 cm when folded, and weighs only 110 grams.

When unfolded, the towel is a sizable 120 x 60 cm — just a little less than a regular bath towel, and despite its thinness, the Pocket Towel actually absorbs up to 3 times its weight in water.

Imagine…you’ll no longer have to carry those bulky towels when you take your kids to the beach, the water-park, or when you decide to go camping. Simply throw a few of these thirsty travel towels in the bottom of a backpack and you’re set.

The Pocket Towel comes in your choice of blue, green or red, and is available now at LatestBuy for $22.95.

Thanks to Audio Alignment technology, the components in the speaker are perfectly in sync for maximum clarity, volume, and depth. And since it gets sound from a USB port, you’ll never have to deal with fuzz or muffled sound.

Don’t you just hate those long family camping trips where all you can do to have some fun is sing the good (and extremely) old campfire songs? “Oh, lord give me some real entertainment kumbaya!”

Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for spending time with the family, but there comes a time — after gathering food, setting up a tent, and hiking to the river and back — when I need to go back to my PSP before I literally become one with the forest and turn into a tree.

Let’s face it, we all have some portable electronic device that keeps us sane when spending long periods of time (2 days is reeeeeally long) outdoors. But what happens when you run out of battery? What happens when that little electronic device — your only reminder of modern civilization — dies out on you because there are no electrical outlets in a 5 mile radius?

That’s where the iCruiser External Battery Pack comes into play!

This external battery pack has a durable, shiny black finish and its ultra-reliable lithium-ion battery has 11000mAh capacity at 5v, 1a output — which can provide your electronic devices with over a week of battery boosts (with normal use).

The iCruiser can charge your iDevices with the exact same USB adapter you already have, and can give you up to 50 hours of movie time on an iPhone/iPod touch, or 17 hours movie time for an iPad 2.

And don’t let the name fool you; this simple-to-use gadget also works with Android, Blackberry, Kindle, Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, and many other devices that are charged through a standard USB cable.

The iCruiser External Battery Pack comes with a retractable USB cable, as well as mini and micro USB tips, and is available now at ThinkGeek for $79.99.
