I just won a nifty solar cell/battery unit for $6.50 shipped (I tell you after I won it, lest you not bid 'gainst me!):http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Solar-Battery-Panel-Charger-Cell-Phone-MP3-MP4-/280646636209?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4157d7d2b1 Panel charges an onboard 1350 mAh LiPo battery and boost circuitry to generate 5.5V for a USB connection. Might be useful for a low-power Stamp power source on a sunny day.

No battery or circuitry AFAIK: http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Solar-Battery-Panel-Charger-for-MP3-MP4-Cell-Phone_W0QQitemZ190507961046QQcategoryZ20336QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DMRU-15032%252BUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D370489329609%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8016433067473945848

I love this line from the sellers description :-)
It appears you will never need to seek out a rest room again.
"You can use solar energy charge your mobile phone wherever and wee never."
