Re:
I've thought about running Dork on cell phones, handhelds, etc. Cell phones really don't have enough resolution for the level designs I've made, so it would require redesigning everything-- and probably reprogramming too, because I somehow don't think cell phones support OpenGL.

Good point Floyd, forgot to put that in my post :) If you have 1 cell providing 100mA and you quadruple the voltage, you would cut the current to 25mA (given 100% efficiency). More typical would be about 20mA or less. Basically... Power = Voltage X Current. So your solar cells are rated 3V at 100mA ...

To charge the battery, you need to supply current. This can be a low amount or a high amount but there needs to be current flowing into the battery. This requires the charger (solar panels + additional circuitry) to apply more voltage to the battery than the batteries voltage. See, the battery has a...
