So why not keep the battery trickle-charged with a small solar panel on the flip cover which protects it? It would just be a matter of getting the correct voltage (same as USB) from the solar power converter to the DR1000s, right? Something tells me this option must already be available somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions about this?

Have you looked at the Solargorilla (
www.powertraveller.com) and/or Powergorilla ?
This is a solution but quite expensive. I am thinking of getting one due to a surfeit of gadgets all of which are "mission critical" so to speak, so I need some charging source all the time.
However, it can be used for Laptops including Macbooks, mobile phones and anything else that charges off a USB port. It could charge DR1000 several times over I should think. Maybe I will get it when the price drops !
