It was only a matter of time before the bevy of solar chargers on the market turned their attention to handheld gaming. This latest entry provides a battery charger for Sony’s Playstation Portable, while mimicking the design of the system itself.
The Solar Battery USB Charger for PSP($29) is a 1800mAh capability lithium battery that can charge either through solar or via a DC power source. On the plus side, you can pick up a solar charger for your little gaming system for under thirty bucks. On the downside, this is one more gadget you’ll have to carry with you as you ignore nature while battling aliens on your next camping trip. Additionally, I’m not too sure about the quality of the product itself. Here are some great quotes from the reference manual:
“With exquisite appearance, console direction can be regulated, so as to appreciate movie.”
“It can charge for battery through polysilicon solar plate.”
Clearly, there’s some difficulty in the marketing department with the translations. But, if you’re looking for some Christmas cash to blow on a backup for your gaming habits, give this one a shot!

This is really cool. Having so many gadgets and an impending (present?) energy crisis, alternate energy sources for portable devices makes total sense. I’m waiting for a Nintendo DS Lite windmill recharger.
