I guess it might be worthwhile if you carry a phone when you are bush walking for longer than your phone battery lasts. If vehicle camping plugging into the vehicle, or using solar would be much less stuffing around. It's a nice idea, but not that practical for most folks I reckon. The power output isn't enough to charge my iPad.
Talking of gadgets, I was thinking these were a good idea at $30 a pop. http://www.lifestraw.com.au/

You must have a ciggie lighter. That is good for 10w, more than double what the gadget makes. I just paid $15 for a Griffin Powerjolt to charge my ipad whilst we drive.

Looks very interesting, might get one when the grills are available, or eBay have the stove but a lot dearer.

BioLite Campstove, Interesting little gadget
I love the idea that burning trees is green........
Interesting concept but given I carry unleaded fuel around to run my 'troll, I can use that in my Coleman dual fuel drives and lights.
Quite good if you're out walking though.
