Wind up charger for mp3s, cameras and other mobile devices
 

I saw this on ebay and thought it might be useful to people to be aware of their existence, it seems to be quiet a handy piece of emerging technology, wind up chargers for mp3's, cameras and other mobile devices.

And USB devices
 

A word of warning
 

I have just been talking to someone about these and it seems some devices do not get on too well with these wind up chargers.

Hi, I recently purchased one of these for my handbag as I always seem to be running out of juice in london. Its total rubbish - you wind up for ever for a little bit of charge and not very hardy at all. Word to the wise - don't waste your pennies.
However I have come across these: maybe worth a go?

Brunton solar panels
 

Brunton makes a few solar panels for charging equipment. They come in four different sizes and also have a power port that folds open. However they are expensive. Figured I'd pass this on to you, for what it's worth. You can check them out at www.brunton.com.
