The idea of a solar (assisted) powered device like an iPod seems a little odd to me as, unless I am sitting on a bus, my iPod spends its entire life in my pocket or in my bag... Not much solar in either of those places.

I'm the same: my iPhone is tucked in my pocket right now, well away from Sol's influence.
I suppose an iPod might be exposed more often (I don't own one). But assuming the efficiency of small solar cells remains similar to current technology, I have to wonder what sort of device Apple plans to mate with this technology. A laptop, maybe? A tablet device? Surely something more likely to be exposed to ambient lighting.

Well, if iPhones were available in Australia, i'd probably have one over my iPod and it would likely see the light on more occasions, but alas...
