Quite frankly, I don't see the need for it. But then, I don't have any objections to it as long as it's an optional accessory. So for those who want it, go for it.
Yeah, personally, I'm mostly interested in it because it's kind of geeky cool. But, like others have said, I can't understand why so many people seem to be presenting the reasons why they don't have a need for solar as if they were arguments for why the device shouldn't HAVE solar.
