The Goal Zero units being sold at Rec Outlet are factory recons. New ones are indeed $100+. They fold up to paperback size and open up to about a square foot of solar cells.
I have a small solar/battery unit from SCOSCHE (no longer made, apparently) that I can charge up from my 'pooter or the sun. It only has a 5v USB output, though. Great for phone backup power, or to run my handheld GPS unit in my kayak, if those batteries go dead. Handy gizmo.
