The Eton Rukus comes in a white model for $99 and a black model that adds solar charging for $50 more. Both models have built-in rechargeable batteries and are due out around May of this year.

Solar-Powered Efficiency. The Eton Rukus is equipped with a handy 40-inch square solar panel, which can recharge the internal lithium battery from flat to full in around six hours.

Eton doesn’t disclose specs on the Rukus’ speakers or amplifier, but a quick measurement of the two full-range stereo speakers indicates they are about 2.5 inches.
