With Solar Power being about the greenest energy around, it still takes way too long.  These new bags from Mascotte Industrial Associates of Hong Kong use DSSC (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells) technology to effectively store and convert solar power so your can charge your gadgets on your own time.

I really like the utilitarian approach to these bags but can’t help but think about the restless anxiety of waiting around for this bag to fully charge.  No word yet on pricing or availability but if your looking for a new bag anyway you may want to wait on these.

At this point in the game it’s pretty difficult to make significant improvements on the good old external hard drive.  So what’s a storage company to do?  Simple.  Add a display that details the drive’s contents and storage capacity.  That’s what Verbatim did and now so has Western Digital.  They’ve added E-Ink displays to their My Book Studio and My Book Elite external hard drive that lets you add your own label and best of all it works when the drive is unplugged.
