Yeah, why not! :) I never went to the deep jungle, but i like to make 
trips in the wild, with just my bike and my tent, and the solar 
charger is the only solution to keep my GPS up and running for several 
days/weeks.

More seriously, what about making an "announce" email in a new thread 
(this thread of discussion is getting quite long), so that people can 
manifest their interest and propose some tests to be carried on the 
solar charger you have selected.

I'm really glad we are going forward on this!
