Tipster, SetupWeasel sends in this gem:
Let's say you are in the woods. There are trees, rivers, mountains, and squirrels, but there are no power outlets.
Your car just died along with its battery. While waiting for the icy grip of death to drag you kicking and screaming
into the underworld, you'd probably want to go out with 150 stars, but you forgot to charge your DS. Curse this
wretched life!
But wait! There is still hope. Instead of screaming at an unmerciful God about your horrible luck, you could be
cranking your way to pre-mortem fun with this Nintendo DS hand crank charger.
I know it's pointless, but damn I want one.

Any word on how much it actually takes to charge the DS for a good amount of battery life?

It says 3 minutes of charging = 20 minutes of play time.
Not too bad, but I wish it was more. I have a radio/flashlight that does about an hour of battery life for 1 minute's charging....

"Anyone know if you can get one for the SP?"
I believe that DS and SP use the same charger, though I may be wrong.
