Solar JOOS Orange

While online researching solar power as I have been doing a lot this year, I found another gadget that looks very interesting called the Solar JOOS Orange.  It uses mono-crystalline panels, is waterproof by design (components are encapsulated in urethane), and  contains a user replaceable 24 Wh/5400mAh lithium-ion polymer battery that can be charged in about 12 hours from built-in solar panel or 8 hours from USB according to Why Its the Best page.  The JOOS Orange is a solar panel and power storage system in a an all in one design.  Looks very impressive and cool.  Hmmm...

It even has a a web site and apps (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac) for monitoring and tracking performance and your usage.  This is impressive.
