Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.
Download on the App StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

It's fine. I've ordered a kickstarter project thingy that does the same and has a built in lamp or something.
Cool.have you seen the camp stove that charges your ipod/pad

All good stuff for keeping you charged when off road.
That solargorrilla looks like it only outputs 5V. Might want to look into that. I think your ipad is gonna want 10V or you'll get that "not charging" message. Awesome concept though. Would love to hear a review if you do get it.
Think you can use it in conjunction with the
Power gorilla (rechargeable battery pack)
That has variable voltage settings.
Am tempted but yes,at the moment am looking for reviews.
Also I'm uk based...we only see the sun for about a day or two before the rain returns..
Ran across some not-so-favorable reviews on Amazon. Neat idea, but it looks like it may actually *MELT in the sunlight. Yikes!

This one seems to have some positive reviews (and looks like it outputs the right amount of power as well - and haven't read any reviews saying it melts in sunlight, so that's a plus - also appears to be about a quarter of the price of that other one)
