    Yes I remember hearing about that too...



    I think that the technoligy used in the hand crank motorola phone isnt "wind up" as much as it is just a "crank generator"... its a small motor connected to a compacitor...



    the iBook would have to run on a "ultra" low amount of power to use a actual wind-up generator... Baygen/Freeplay.net was talking about making a small heavy duty generator a while ago... but then never delivered...



    Havent heard any news yet on the development of the technoligy... "As Is" it isnt very powerfull...
