Oh, and bad link from the main engadget.com site.]]>Mar 6th 2006 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/solar-usb-drive-and-mp3-player-to-rise-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/solar-usb-drive-and-mp3-player-to-rise-at-cebit/
Okay, this is a real lame implementation. Once the USB drive is unplugged there's no way the capacity changes. So basically you're using solar power to display something that is static. The much better implementation is using epaper technology. The display is updated while it's connected to the computer and when removed it's still visible with no power requirements.

trust me you get bored after 2mins of shaking the stupid thing.. setting it out on the desk in a classroom or outside on a table is much easier.

small solar panels are light and cheap, cant believe no one has thought of this before (on mp3 players).
