    This is a great move forward! Good for Sharp!

    I read an interesting article talking about how small units like this are good for the entire small-voltage market.

    The article is titled, “Solar Does Make Sense for Small Applications” at http://economicefficiency.blogspot.com/2009/05/solar-does-make-sense-for-small.html

    In not too long, your iPod will have a solar cell!
