It always seems that a couple of times each week I am in a situation where I am running out of battery power.  Between Google Maps, Skyfire, and SlingPlayer Mobile I frequently run out of juice.  If only my back pack or travel bag that I carry with me everyday could function as a charger. Well today I was happy to learn from Afrigadget.com that one will be available soon.  It will be called the FLAP Bag.  FLAP stands for Flexible Light And Power.
Afrigadget will be distributing solar powered bags that function as a light and a charger.  The solar panel will be on the flap of the bag, and wil have a USB extension and a LED light.  You can see the unboxing video below.   The bags will be distributed in Ghana, Uganda, and Kenya as a trial project (FLAP Bag Project).  You can follow the progress of this project at afrigadget.com or on twitter @whiteafrican.
