Konarka solar cell dye

So apparently the latest $18 million that Konarka Technologies, a lightweight solar cell company got will allow it to finally deliver products by the end of the year. They've raised $32 millionand haven't delivered a single product to market. We wish we had friends like that. The gamble could pay off though, if their solar-energy absorbing dye works out. It would eventually allow cell phones to recharge themselves just by sitting out in the sun, which would mean one less ugly dock on our desk (seriously, so much thought goes into the cellphone itself and the dock is left as an ugly chunk of black plastic).
