Have you guys checked out Hansen's "Sparkling Sleek" lineup? It consists of 4 core flavors & 2 green teas, with Sugar Free versions of those also available. I recently tried the Valencia Orange flavor.

Basically, this seems to be a sparking water line aimed at the same healthy/nutritional market... though it does use cane sugar, so you've got 90 calories there. The classic collection of "no HFCS/preservatives/artificial colors/caffeine" is also played up in the marketing.
Overall, this flavor wasn't too bad. Tasted like bubbly water with a hint of orange... which I guess was the point. :) (Full review (http://www.bevreview.com/2008/07/25/review-hansens-natural-sparkling-sleek-valencia-orange/) if you really, really love bubbly water!)
The other flavors are Blueberry-Pomegranate, Dragonfruit, Cranberry-Grapefruit, Pomegrante Green Tea, and Tangerine Green Tea. I hope to get around to tasting those flavors as well... though sparkling water in a can isn't the most appealing thing in the world.
