Hmmm, "…allow people to recharge their cell-phone from any location, even from the top of a mountain, at the other end of the world, where power sources are quasi-nonexistent." And that helps my cell phone in what area? So I can play more of my MP3s? If you are so far removed where power is quasi-nonexistent then there are no mobile phone site, so even if you had 10tera watts of power available the cell phone will not work, duh!!!

I think the solar power version is much better. It comes built in into a backpack and works INDOORS (where there is NO WIND). So as far as anyone is concern you are just carrying a backpack with a shiny back.

I think I'd have better luck with solar power near my home. Great idea, though.

You could put on a hat and it would still work indoors during certain conversations :)
