This is certainly not the first solar charger for cell phones but its probably the first one that is so affordable. Priced at $35USD you almost want to get stuck somewhere in the wild on purpose with a dead battery. As you can see in the image all you do is connect your phone to it and it charges. They even have a laptop version which is a little bigger. VIDEO->

Reading this, most of you wouldn’t believe that I’m a Republican (who is all for green without having much green)!
