JOOS Orange Charging an iPad (after withstanding shots from a 22 rifle)

Bootstrap solar has one that is cheaper and almost twice as powerful as the JOOS - plus it has two USB outputs instead of one.

@marcusdunavan - Is the Bootstrap as rugged as the JOOS? Can you drop it off a building and it still work? Is it as portable? The Bootstrap appears to be great as a science project, etc. but comparing it to the JOOS is comparing apples to kumquats. Which reminds me, check out WIRED Magazine this month (Feb 2012) where WIRED did a full page review of the JOOS, gave it 9/10 stars and the Editor's Pick seal. We beat out every single solar charger they tested. The others were all 5 or 6/10.

I would like an AC Adapter, with a Green LED for if it has enough power (Like an Xbox Controller), and red for not (Like A refrigerator)

Yeah but how fast? You should look at a the powerfilm 10 watt charger. It charges superfast and is flexible and able to be strapped to a backpack for hiking

@dreamspher From the tech specs on their website, it looks like it produces up to 18 watts.
