I would get both the solar panel and the hand crank.

Thanks Larry, it is a common sentiment, and we'll definitely consider it. (What accessories would you get if you could?)

       I certainly hope there's a "Buy One - Give One" program for
    this, as well as the accessories mentioned!

        That chip, along with the custom charging circuitry developed
        by OLPC
        and Marvell means that the tablet can be charged by a hand
        crank at a
        10:1 ratio (10 minutes of usage time for every minute spent
        cranking),
        or by the optional four watt solar panel cover at a 2:1 ratio
        on sunny
        days.

        See Ed McNierney's video interview as well.
