“Reverb” Solar-Powered iPhone Dock Is Huge

Have you seen the Reverb solar-powered iPhone/iPod dock? It’s massive! Seriously, at three feet tall, this thing is really cool but it’s also a bit puzzling. First of all, many of us like our iPods since they are relatively tiny but can store a lot of music. They’re convenient. When you attach it to something that is the size of a pre-schooler, it 
becomes a lot less practical, I would think.
Still, there’s no price on being friendly to the environment, right? Unfortunately, it takes a whole 20 hours outside/40 hours indoors of sun exposure to get this bad baby up to full charge.
The one thing that irks me about my iPod is that I can’t put some batteries into it to get it to work, I’ve got to wait for it to charge and I think that having to wait for my dock to charge would drive me nuts and I’m really environmentally-conscious. Apparently, Gizmodo says that you can buy a regular power adapter for the Reverb so that could work, I guess.
The Reverb will be released in April, 2010 at a retail price of $2,229.
