Wow! I love that idea. I don't know anything about this stuff but I guess
it would take a bit of fiddling to make sure it didn't over-charge in very
bright sunlight. But once it was done, it would be a great thing!
Two small niggles based probably on my ignorance of the whole thing: would
a solar cell panel be adequate protection for the screen without being
something that needs its own protection? And, what would it do to the form
factor of the Newt?
That's not meant to be critical of what I reckon is a great idea. I'm just
wondering about how it'll work.
Shalom.
