Japanese companies StrapyaNext and Tokyo Coil Engineering claim they developed the world’s first battery charger for cell phones based on solar energy. The charger comes in the form of a phone strap.
The device is 12.5 cm long and weighs 40 grams. It takes between 6 and 10 hours for a full charge with which you can talk for up to 40 minutes. StrapyaNext promises on the product page: “As long as the sun pours light and heat on the earth!” An AC adapter can get the job done in 3 hours.
The charger is available for $19 but for the time being, only Japanese cell phones are supported.

This has been around a lot longer.
But the $20 price tag on this Japanese gadget is great.
So not the first!
I saw the first ones for my Nokia phone in 1998.
Just a clue for ya! Google…

Sir
Hello am call Lawsamba Donald Nyanyoh from Cameroon.
Am interested to invite interested company or supplier to come and run big business in Cameroon.
Sir I call it big business because Cameroon has a big problem with energy or if not all area and ends but there are mobile network ranges there or could be install there and this make up a big market for your products
My contribution will be to help the company or supplier get all that is needed to operate in Cameroon as I can get to top ranking government offices because I have some relation with atlest one of them.
Sir my concern will be to have myself doing something and get just a percentage in each product sold.
My contact is 237/ 99 96 19 60 237/ 33 11 25 05
My email is law9donald@yahoo.com
