I did the west coast with a dynohub, a $10 ebay powerpack that accepts AAs, and my iphone. The dynohub charges the batteries through the busch&mueller ride&charge, connected to an ixon iq. The batteries are then used to charge the phone. I get about 1.5 iphone charges from four batteries. Not a cheap solution, but it works, and I don't have to stop to charge, or hunt for wall outlets. I also use AAs in my taillight (very important in Oregon fog!), and camera.
