Tablet computers are also going solar-powered

Seems like most personal tech products are going in the green direction. Solar powered gadgets are particularly good if you are out in the wilderness where there are few places to charge electronic devices. Those who are looking to slim down their packs and consolidate their GPS, maps, books, and radios into one rugged machine may want to check out Earl, the world’s first backcountry survival tablet. Solar powered and able to withstand dust, mud, and shock, this hearty companion is currently looking for some crowdsourcing support to get it out onto the trail.
