Are you aware of the Novothink Surge solar battery charger/extender available for the iPhone and iPod touch? It's already on the market -- no need to wait for Apple!

You can even remove your iPhone from the case and set only the Novothink case in the sunlight to charge.

WOW! That seems really cool. I just don't think you would have it in the sun most of the time. It would be in your pocket all day and at night it would be in the dark on a table, at least that's how it would be for me. I don't think that method of charging is very reliable yet.

It's a pretty cool method of charging the battery but it's probably pretty slow.

I would welcome and really like the feature. I go running on a daily basis and find myself outside more and more during the summer; it would be perfect to charge my phone on the go.

Would probebly be ineffective due to the coating blocking the signal with AT&T's already bad network.
