Self charging phones aren't that far away

Eh, if I understand correctly, it's not self-charging. It just discharges slower.

"What's really cool is these cells can recycle indoor or outdoor light as well..."

It's self-charging at a rate perhaps slower than the rate at which is discharges, for now, but it is effectively charging itself. The question is does it break even?

Even if it does not break even, I would be more than happy with double the use time of my mobile. Of course, it would be even better if I just never had to charge it, but baby steps.
