Bull.

Solar panels are moving ahead technologically in a big way.
It only takes one small one to power a calculator that is the total surface area of a thumbnail. It would be easy to power a DS.

I seen the video it looks like two thick pieces of metal duct taped to the DS almost like 2 DS together except only heavier...

Well, also on the solar mod do you have to remove the batteries and put the latch on. And the pricetag is a little hefty even for DS owners. I just want a charger in case I need a boost when I'm on the go.
