Is this useful?

[drwex]

I am neither an outdoorsy hiking type, nor an inveterate gadget-carrier, so I turn to you. Is this kind of thing really useful, or just wacky and expensive?

i claim useful for the following reasons:
- portable
- not using standard electricity to recharge devices
- makes it trivial to keep your stuff recharged

i suspect the value goes up as you have more devices and are more dependent on them just staying charged without overt effort from you.
