That's why I choose a lead acid battery for my solar tracker, it's easy to charge and has very good capacity, the only disadvantages are the size and the weight.

Really. I know there are some devices, and correct me if I am wrong, that uses a reservoir or something like that. So the solar panel would transfer charge to the reservoir and it in turn will charge a device, which could be a Pocket PC. This way the Pocket PC will be getting a constant current/charge. Sorry I am using the wrong terms but I hope you get my idea. Hi PJMDs

Charging my ppc with solar panels I found out that it caused problems because of the low current, the battery wouldn't charge properly, even if the device was at 100% battery it could drop the 30% and become unstable. To overcome that I'm currently working on a device that follows the sun and charges a 6V lead acid battery, with that device it will be easy to charge my ppc and have no battery problems. There are commercial products to charge our devices with the sun or wind but I know that they have the same problems with low currents.

I just saw solar powered device. It's pretty cool. Maybe you could make a portable solar powered charger for our phones :D Hi PJMDs

I use a variety of methods from feeds, to newsletters to relationships to trade and so forth. It's really hard to pinpoint on one because there are so many options. Hi PJMDS

I use one program to manage feeds but it already has to many feeds than I can read everyday, not all my feeds are about the pocket pc world but mostly about technology.
