I found this product looking for a solar powered cooler. This is NOT a solar powered cooler. It's a cooler with a solar powered powered docking station. Don't get confused about that either, because it doesn't look like it has the proprietary iPod/iPhone power/data plug end. It looks, however, like it does have a whole bunch of power adapters as well as a likely female USB connector.
Still, lets think about the practicality of this unit. First off, it has a battery source to store saved up energy for powering the speakers and charging your chosen gadget. Secondly, it has speakers on a cooler. That alone makes it pretty cool... just more like $30-40 cool. Throw in the solar technology and the energy storage device with all those cool adapters that could be used in a multitude of applications, and sign me up. Looks like it's good for a 6-pack or a picnic in the park with romantic rob zombie in the background.
I know what you're thinking, and you're right. I should probably change the name of this product blog to Wes' Solar Reviews. It's true, I've been checking out a lot of solar stuff, but it's just because the thought of free energy is rad beyond the value of clean coal by the a factor of a sideways eight.
