Anyone noticed Logitech just released their Solar Powered Bluetooth Keyboard for the Ipad 2 and the new iPad?

This keyboard seems very environment friendly and the keyboard itself looks really thin and comfy.

In my opinion, this keyboard is among the best looking-accessories for the iPads.

What are you guys' thoughts?

I like this from Logitech.

You must REALLY like it to come out of your lurk for it.

Mine. Catch and release...

I have tried it and every other logitech keyboard in stores, and honestly am not crazy about how they make them. I love Logitech mice, I think they are just about the best out there, but for keyboards, no thanks.

Though the wireless solar charging one is a very cool concept.

well some china plant must have finally produced an extreme low-power ic that allows logitech to make these new solar keyboards... i doubt the concept is new but to actually make it functional and affordable is always another story.

i like it not because its more "green"... no... i just like that it wont ever die on you.... well, i guess if it runs out of juice when youre typing in a dark room or something that would still be a pita.

It is like my Marathon Mouse, it has a stated 3 years of battery life. My oldest one is about 1-1.5 years old, but it is still going strong on the original batteries.
