without proper scaling, i imagine myself walking around like some kinda nerdy flava flav.

I have no self respect. I still have too much self respect to wear this thing. You do it.
Also: When will USB replace regular plugs? They're so much sexier, and don't bend all that easy. Also that "open side" vs. closed side design is fun for watching old people mess up trying to plug in.
Nerdy Flava Flav is redundant.

Judging from the size of the USB port it looks to me that it's somewhere between 3" and 4" square. But that's just a guess.

Is it just me, or does the nicely centered "Samsung" logo cover precious light gathering cells?

doens't look as big as Flavor Flav's clock.... hey now there's an idea, a solar clock necklace with integrated ipod dock!

why is this not in crapgadget?

I can see practical use in this after a few revisions.

Next thing you know people will be wearing Mercedes hub caps around their necks.

Brilliant idea to place a logo on top of a solar cell...

I'm in pain

By the way why didn't anyone invent sneakers that charge a battery when you walk/run? Would be great to charge mp3 player while running!
StalematE @ Oct 1st 2008 1:28PM
you just did....
dimes @ Oct 1st 2008 1:28PM
I wouldn't hang it around my neck, but I would certainly hang it from my backpack. Usefull if I could get one
Troels C @ Oct 1st 2008 1:34PM
This must be the nerd equivalent of a big ass hip hop cold medal chain.
kylewbaker @ Oct 1st 2008 3:04PM
I pity the fool who can't appreciate chunky solar powered geek gear.
Matt @ Oct 1st 2008 3:43PM
Geeks don't go outside and are basically allergic to the sun! How many of you do most of your greatest work at midnight? NO true geek will buy this, even if you are the dude who says "I'm a PC and I sell fish".

Ah, but we can put it in the window.
SCIENCE

I'd use this at Burning Man though or for some other type of camping trip/remote outdoor activity but hell if I'd be caught dead with it around my neck. :>

Sweet, another device that doubles as vagina repellent.
Bitches don't know about my solar USB hub
