I’m going camping over the next four days. Here’s the kit that’s going to keep me productive.
[The Wife and little-one have planned a last-minute camping trip together and I was due to stay home and work but I've decided to go along and make a working holiday of it. Dads - this is the beauty of Ultra Mobile PC's!!!]
That’s a Samsung Q1 Ultra being charged from a Tablet Kiosk MP3400 which will be charged using a Sunlinq 25W solar panel. Also included are the Nokia N82 and a battery charging set. More details here.
Check out Solar-UMPC for some more mobile and solar-computing posts over the next few days.

You’re suppose to go camping to get away from it all! Not bring it all with you!
Here’s hoping your wife hides all the batteries!

Its definitely nerdy and totally unnecessary where i’m going camping but it’s good fun to test this stuff out. One day we might really need it!

i have the same UMPC and just purchased the same back-up battery….but there doesn’t seem to be a adapter that fits the UMPC’s DC power connection? did you order a special adapter or did it come w/ the original collection with the back-up battery?
thanks, john

So, how much did you spend for the solar panel and for the external battery? According to an easy search, about 1200EU?
Nice site!

You married to the gadgets or your wife?:) While I’m all for being mobile to the extreme I’ve had to be humble myself and listen to my wife more, thereby making more B&W borders as to what is work time/days and what’s “offline” time. I believe a lot of us reading these types of blogs are addicted but let’s not let it ruin our family relations!

Hi,
how did you connect the Solar pannel and the Battery pack? Via the 12v car adapter?
Thanks
