NTT will release ‘Pocket Energy,’ a portable solar-cell system for recharging mobile devices, at the end of June 2004. One of the features of this system is its versatility, which allows it to charge a wide range of 3- to 8-volt devices according to a press release dated August 9 2004.
Make of that what you will.
A July Gizmodo listing shows it with a $215 price (but still ‘forthcoming’).
