The Freeloader Pico is small, delicate and iPodyish, but it’ll take you 10 hours to charge its internal battery, which could be a tad too long if it’s an emergency call you’re wanting. Still, it’s nice to know there’s a solar fall back if the USB recharger part fails you in the desert. For some reason. $39.99.

Those power times sound a bit inflated for 800mAh battery. I'm thinking they calculated them the same way manufacturers calculate laptop battery times (brightness all the say down, system running just about standby, not real-world active use).
