Off the grid power for your phone (and other USB devices), just add water...brilliant!  However, from a quick search on the Internet, it seems it might only cost about $0.12 to charge a cellphone.  And, seeing that this unit will cost $229 or so, it might take some time to make up the cost.  I guess the real intention for this device is for hikers/explorers/no-man's-land-wanderers who will be away from a power source for a long time.  In that case, it would be a very useful device to have handy.

This phone is pretty awesome in terms of energy conservation, especially if you just want to keep it around for emergencies.  15 years on a AA battery, not bad at all.

A friend sent this to me recently, and I find it a little alarming.  Additionally, this just lessens my view of humanity.  I really do hate evil people.  Why is it that I have to worry about something like this; why are these people in the world that would try to track my child down through this technology; why can't we find them and pull a Superman (jettison them into the sun)?  Luckily, I believe that I already had my location storage turned "off" on my phone.  Something to think about for anyone posting pictures from a phone.
