Those are awesome! One of my buddies actually had one for his iPod. For those of us more "financially challenged" there is a walkthrough on how to scavenge a few gardening lamps and make your own!

Great video. I wonder if you could build one that would charge a laptop...
anything's possible! My dell charger says it outputs 19.5V at 3.34A, so I think you'd need more than just a few of those panels! :D

How many for an Ikarus trolley-bus, then? :D
Most likely few more Ikarus full of batteries... but what's gonna carry those ones then? :D

Yeah, few hundred chargers, maybe? :D
Maybe attach them to an umbrella that connects to a laptop inside a backpack while walking around town? :)
Not sure if this is big enough to power a laptop:
