Excellent: using the right gadget with the correct gizmo!

MIllet came out with a Backpack "rain cover" that is a charger. It is very new but I think it is very expensive but no more than Brunton stuff
Info about it here (w video link)

The only placeI found to buy it was here - not sure if its available in U.S. yet,

With 12 V you can get adapters/chargers for practically everything : iPod , cell phones etc. This panel cost me about Rs 8000.
AA model : 190 grams
12 v model : 300 grams

Very useful gadget ...particularly while trekking ...any idea where I can find this one in India ? & also how much both these model costs ?

No idea where to find it in India. I bought them in Sweden as Silva products , I´ve seen the same branded as Brunton afterwards.The AA charger cost some what less than half of the price of the 12 v unit , as I recall it.

Gadget? Gizmo?

What is it with you tech types - can you NEVER avoid using tech-speak? <shaking head>
Think about the rest of us sometimes! (off to check dictionary for definitions)

P.S. I need a watzit for my thingamajig. Any suggestions?

Nick-H · May 20th, 2008, 00:52

A Widget, of course!

Dilliwala · May 20th, 2008, 02:45

Of course, now why didn't I think of that?
