- "The fact that it’s pretty much completely useless to the person actually wearing it!" Well, you can always look at your reflection in a mirror or window!
- I've tried to use one of these cigarette lighter jumpers before, and it sucked. The lighter has relatively thin wires going to it, and as a result, you can push much less current to the battery...
- Great invention.. This will really help a lot of people.. No hassle.. Nice post..!!

Not only do you lambast a product merely on conjecture (certainly bad form), it seems like you don't know much about the technology or its implications.
I am not saying that the product is perfect, or even worthwhile, but I would save those opinions and conclusions for a real review.
You do understand that a solar panel doesn't actually need to be pointed directly at the sun right? Although that is the point at which it is operating at maximum efficiency, it does not have to have direct line of site to function.
Do you really think that the charging would be at the same rate as you playing? You would have to let it charge when you weren't playing anyways...it is a method to charge the battery, not one to provide direct power when playing.
How often are you playing your game system? Why can't you just let it sit out when you AREN'T playing it? It seems that is the true goal of the system...
Either way, you need to find some journalistic integrity...especially your comments regarding the product "looking bulky".
From this article, one might conclude you are an assuming, pretentious asshole...but one shouldn't make that determination until they have met you in person? Capisce?

You mention that one might want to recharge it while not playing. Personally, I wouldn't keep a $200 product just sitting out next to me (away from the comfort of my home or office) for extended periods for the sole purpose of recharging. To me, that's just asking for it to be stolen.
I'm not sure if you are a portable gaming aficionado, but my comment about it "looking bulky" is quite important. These systems are designed with the idea that they will be carried around in one's pocket. The product adds nearly an inch to the overall thickness of the device, which happens to be less than an inch thick to begin with. This is nearly doubling the thickness, thus making it too bulky to be carried around comfortably.
Again, I'm sorry that you don't agree with my point of view or appreciate the way I write about products. Sure, I could just write a few specs and leave it at that, or I could give readers my thoughts on the device. While you say that this sorts of things should be saved for a formal review of the product, it isn't necessary. I based my opinion on facts provided by the manufacturer. It would be a bit ridiculous to expect the product to overcome the limitations that I have mentioned (ie, it being thinner than described, or for the panels to be located somewhere other than directly beneath the PSP).
