You could readily throw it in your backpack and charge your phone/iPod/etc. to 80% from a dead state in about an hour worth of walking. You can also strap it to your leg if you're riding a bike and get the same effect.
Pretty neat stuff!

Cool Tech!
I was in the car for a while last night listening to NPR and heard a technology interview/story about a company called nPower. They are working to bring to production a product called the PEG. It's a 9 oz. aluminum tube with mechanics and circuitry inside that generate electricity as you walk. It has a USB port which in turn you plug into your electronic device and it charges your device as you walk or run.
