The Japan telecommunication company Nippon Telegraph Telephone /NTT/ will release a new product the world's first portable solar-cell system - Pocket Energy for recharging mobile devices, where power supply is missing, announced Space Daily. It is called system because it consists of a solar panel, an electricity-storing tablet and connecting cables. How it works – you must expose the solar panel to direct sunshine for four hours and then you can charge your cell phone /according NTT it will be enough for four hours uninterrupted call/, MP3 player, mobile game, but Pocket Energy is still not capable of recharging notebooks.
NTT will let for sale the system in May this year first only in Japan for approximately 190 USD, and in near future in the rest of the world.

Sounds cool! there is something the same/very similar for sale on ebay at the moment for £14.99, at:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBay[....]item=4180854487&category=42406
-which is a bit cheaper then 190 USD! But I have'nt got one of those, so can't comment on the quality - could need the light of 1,000 suns to do anything

Cool! Would be a great tool to take along while hicking, camping, or for use in several parts of the world where power supply is erratic.

i like the idea very much, i've also requested this before to SE, but i think it will cost alot, like we can see on this nice device.
its nice for alot of people, but for me it would be nice when i'm on the road or just for plain charging, its good for the envirment (or how do you write that). it won't save that much of you elec. bill but every bit helps
