"Luckily, there may be an improved option for getting off the grid and into the sun in the near future - Motorola was just awarded a sweet patent for putting a solar-cell underneath an LCD on a mobile device, allowing it to show a display and recharge simultaneously. "
Cool idea. Hope they implement it on the front display as well, because who leaves their flip phone open all the time?

"Nokia has announced new phones designed to help users save energy by notifying them when their phone has been charged – a feature the company hopes to include across its product line. The phones feature an alert that encourages people to unplug the charger once the battery is full, helping to reduce the amount of electricity used. "
This comment says it all - "Put a switch on the bloody chargers. I'm not unplugging it, it's under my desk!"
