The Solar Charger ECO is now on sale from Strapya, retailing for $20 or so after conversion. This mini solar charger is attached to your cell phone via a strap, allowing you to charge your handset up to 500 times before it presumably disintegrates into fine dust. I kid, it probably isn't that long lasting and can't run indefinitely - after all, what do you expect for twenty bucks? This isn't 1950. Unfortunately, it is compatible only with Japanese handsets, in particular those from au, FOMA and Softbank lines.
