I used a Solio charger for my iPod this year and there is a cable to charge Nokia phones so I should be able to use that to keep the N810 going for longer. My trail name on the PCT was "SunWalker" because of the solar panels on top of my pack.
I've seen (no experience with them myself) little chargers that use 2AA batteries with anywhere from one cable to a series of cables for different mobile devices. I think the one I have in mind with a bunch of cables retailed for $20-30. [I can look it up if you like] Maybe that could be a complement to solar charging? And/Or backup.
