wow your setup is realy good it looks pretty flexible, im not very tech savy and im also trying to keep it realy light, im not exactly sure if a usb adapter will help me connect a micro usb device with a mini usb device. ( i realy dont know anything about usb) i heard about usb on the go and was thinking about using that.
Im going around the west coast and then a bit on the east, California, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Florida and New york. After that im going around the world if can save up for it.
Pics would be nice, have you heard of:

"Solar cells will not charge *anything* that quickly. Definitely best to do some reasearch and calculations before you assume it will "just work." Check out reviews if possible. Also factor in that if you need to do voltage conversion you should check how efficient the voltage converter/regulator you're using is. Many solar panel power output figures are based on summer at the equator, middle-of-the day, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky scenarios which might not the case where you're traveling. Also, it might actually be worthwhile to look at something like a hand crank or a bike generator if applicable. Please post back if you find anything interesting, cause I'm sure people will be interested. Good luck."
yes, thats very true, i think i would average those situations and look into middle of the day or not a cloud in the sky. I havent looked into a hand crank but i will, i wouldnt want to carry one around if takes too much space. I also will not be using or bringing any bikes. I dont have a voltage converter or regulator which ill now be getting and i dont know any tools to get for measuring electrical efficiency. I am thinking about getting the soldius 1 solar charger becuase
it seems better suited for portable devices. (although at this point i dont realy know) Theres also the solio solar charger.
