{mosgoogle}Just when you think you owned everything you could possibly ever need, a Dutch company has unfurled a golf bag with solar panels that can charge a phone.

The Soldius Solar Golf Bag holds clubs and balls like any other golf bag, but it also includes integrated solar panels that can be used to charge personal electronic items. The bags come complete with charging tips that can connect to phones and handhelds from Nokia, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson, Motorola and Research In Motion. Charging time is dependent on sunlight.

A charging tip for iPods is sold separately.

The bags will be available soon on Soldius' online store and other retailers. The four bag models range in price from $200 to $800, said a spokesman. The $800 bag is made of leather.

Although solar powered calculators have been around for years, some manufacturers are integrating solar cells into different items. The movement in part is coming about because solar engineers have come up with solar cells that are made out of thin films that can be integrated into other products or painted onto surfaces.
