Eton adds two more solar-powered Bluetooth sound systems to its Rukus lineup

For those about to rock out (in direct sunlight, at least), Eton won't just salute you, but offer you more options for your environmentally-friendly moshing. At this year's CES, it's launching two more solar-powered Bluetooth boomboxes to compliment the Rukus that arrived at 2012's show. The Rugged Rukus offers the same hardware as the flagship, but wrapped in a sturdy IPX-4 shell that'll keep it safe from knocks and splashes. It's also trotting out the Rukus XL, a not-too-distant cousin of the old Soulra XL iPod dock, which ditches the e-ink display in favor of a chunky, triangular body, flip-out solar panel and six more speaker drivers. The Rugged Rukus will arrive in Q1 and will cost $99.99, and the Rukus XL setting you back $199.99 when it arrives in Q2.
