Time to harvest all the hot air and wind power found inside the buildings.

Why would you want to cook your iphone in the sun in the 1st place? Handy i guess if need to make a call and your on some crazy summer white water rafting trip with kevin Bacon.

or your on holiday somewhere with limited power options.
or a hurricane has knocked power out to your city for 2 weeks or a month.

Please drop us an updated review after a week or so. I bought a couple of batteries off Woot before I went to China. They worked okay in pinch, but the capacity sucks. I only get one charge per battery.

Yeah, I'm curious...

- How often did you have to charge your iPhone with a wall charger / how heavily did you use it?

- Are you able to charge it now only with the solar panel and have it function continuously (i.e. the amount of solar charging you do is enough to keep the phone operating 24/7 as long as you do it every day)?

- How much of an iPhone's charge practically do you get, once all the inefficiencies in the process are taken into account, out of the full 2000 mAh internal battery?

- How much time per day is the phone plugged into the charger -- how long does it take to transfer all the energy stored in the charger's battery to the iPhone's battery?
