Donovan Brooks, from Backpacker magazine was on hand and had this to report:

SteriPEN continues to revolutionize the water purification world with their new Freedom model. Though the Freedom is already available to the public, it will be Fall 2012 before they release their new SteriPEN Freedom Solar Bundle hits the shelves. This package will include a .5L water bottle, a solar panel with a lithium polymer battery, and, of course, a SteriPEN Freedom. The Freedom weighs in at 2.6 oz. and will treat 30L in .5L increments on a single charge. MSRP for this bundle will be $149.95. steripen.com
