On a full charge, without the sun, the battery has enough
power to run and charge a laptop computer for about three
hours, a 19" television for over an hour or a twenty watt
light for about ten hours. Next time the power goes out, read
in silence, listen to music, surf the Internet while the Sun Power
Port provides a clean energy source.

Pretty cool. I don't know if it really works for most homes, but for a travelling, camping application, I think this would come in handy.

What do you see the market for this product being. It surely isn't a power source for any home, but I am sure it would benefit the camper (as jt mentioned). Is it a silicon PV cell or can you integrate a thin film unit to lighten up the whole unit? Can you add extra panels to decrease charge times?

Could be a nice supplement for travel or for business trips but I see what everyone else is saying, this device can't handle enough to be a viable solution for very much. I love the innovation and the spirit of this device. I wish I had one.

This is possible temporarily when someone travels around. When the investment in Solar power increases then probably one would be able to do it at home.
