NTT DoCoMo shows off solar charger

No, this isn't the next Mars lander, nor is it some sort of biology experiment. This impossibly unruly contraption is a concept for how NTT DoCoMo would like y'all to juice up your phones in the future. The system apparently involves a solar array employing spherical silicon cells, yielding efficiency far beyond that old-skool array your granpappy used to use. No word on production plans for this thing, but given everything we know of DoCoMo, it will hit the streets eventually -- and when it does, we can only hope it gets a little smaller.

I hope they make an all weather version of it, this doesn't look really robust to me. But then again, it is a prototype. On the other hand, if I wanted to charge my mobile with it, I'd have to leave my mobile at home to charge? Or maybe they provide a battery to store the generated electricity?
