The growing popularity of reusable energy has prompted Taiwan-based A-Data Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI) to introduce solar cells into their latest flash-based memory devices.
MSI will be showing a solar cell-equipped MP3 player at the show. This concept MP3 player uses the solar module to charge the built-in lithium battery and provide supplementary power to extend battery life. Solely relying on the solar cell to charge the battery would take two days under ordinary outdoor light and a fully charged battery allows ten hours of playback. MSI plans to move this product into mass production in time for Computex and the device will use a solar module supplied by a local solar cell maker.

let's see...  two days of charging to produce ten hours of playback.. or use conventional batteries.. gotta do better than that, it doesn't add up. Don't we already have stand-alone solar-charger units for this kind of stuff? |

Sounds alright, but sounds like it's full of flaws
