I'd like to see this succeed - not just for mobiles, but more generically for the myriad of gadgets we usually see clusters of plug-in adapters powering (wasting loads of energy through conversion to heat...).
Mind you, I recently purchased a 'Freeloader' - a solar powered device designed with the same intentions (powers mobiles, ipods etc apparently), and discovered with major dissapointment that it is utterly unfit for purpose. It produced 30secs worth of charge to my Nokia after 2 days in the blazing sun while out camping recently.
