Solar power for my laptop?

From Gizmodo:
MediaStreet's 1GB eMotion solar-powered portable media player is already shipping for $169. That's a lot for a typical 1-gig audio-video player, but when you consider that this device can, according to claims, provide power for "most portable devices such as mobile phones, MP3/MP4 players, laptops, digital cameras" and presumably itself, it's chump change. We'll get to the bottom of this, hopefully getting a review sample in, but in the meantime, have a closer look and feel free to stretch your skeptic muscles.
I did a little searching on Media Street's website and couldn't even find the press release Gizmodo posted. It looks like vaporware right now, but I'm hoping that it comes to market. At $169, it would be a fabulous companion to the Eee PC that should be arriving this afternoon. UPDATE: The device is now showing up on MediaStreet's website, but there I still haven't found a way to order the device.
