Yeah, 12 hours of charging is too long. I found a Solar Mobile Phone Charger at crazyaboutgadgets.com that requires only 3 to 5 hours of charging. Surely, it depends on the weather but at least we can save the rest of the hours waiting.

You know I love the idea of solar power. Unfortunately, what we need a super efficient solar cells that are starting to come into existence, but are still cost prohibitive. This is a cool idea and a cool device.

I like this idea and the voltaic bags I have seen in the past as well.

Now what I would rather see is the cell being built INTO the device itself. Then you just mount them near your windshield and start charging.
