It comes with solar powered pocket lamps...lighting your pocket with sunlight Kidding.

Not too sure about this, it's a good idea in theory, but whether it's implimented efficient enough to be of any use is another thing.

Like if your phone is dead, will whipping it out in some light let you have a call or will you have to stand there for 5 hours?

I think gyro based recharging would be better - at least you're sure you can shake it when you need it, and if in your pocket, it's bound to be moving while you are.

like those wind up radios that are being marketed for third world countries. makes more sense if it had that.
