Another fantastic example of 'green-washing'. Not quite in the original sense of the word though.
So hilarious that this site posts this as if this 'USB solar charger thing' is a fresh new idea. The comments reveal that no one googled: 'USB solar charger' to find the dozens of products already available (NOT FROM GE!) VOLTAIC is by far the best in the biz!

GE using Buzzfeed to act like they are all green and eco-friendly. Buzzfeed drop this disingenuous garbage.

good idea, but think about how much power a calculator needs vs an Ipod…
the solar panals would need to be pretty big, or they'd need to be really advanced.
