Not to disagree in general, but the "hand-cranked device" feature is little more than ... spin.

hehe.

I still want to see one in action. I like the idea of having a mobile device that I'd never have to worry about running out of juice.

Batteries are kinda of a necisarry evil right now.. I'd say solar would be great, but a hand crank should be considurably cheaper and also would work at night.
