Does anyone know of a relatively cheap wind up iphone charger? Recetnly the car charger I own, when I plug it in, says "This accessory is not recognized by your iphone". I can charge it, but I can't listen to any music while it's charging. This is mostly the reason to have it charging while driving in the first place, because I want to listen to music!

Anyway I'm thinking either a wind up one or - perhaps - a solar one would be fine. I don't mind doing a lot of winding, I just want it to charge while listening to music, and I like the idea of not being "tethered" to an outlet, be it AC or cig lighter.

Thanks for your help!
 
I saw an ad recently for a wind-up torch that had a usb output. Don't know if it works with the iPhone though, but it's something to google. (might have been on QVC)

ps did a quick search and there are loads (many millions) of wind-up phone chargers, both torch/chargers and dedicated phone chargers. Google has all the answers
