Has everyone heard about the new Micronet wireless instruments coming out from Takctick? They are wireless and solar powered. Sounds like a great idea and about time that technology caught up with us (or vice versa). Check them out if you haven't seen them. www.tacktick.com

Unfortunately they are not available until July.
