are there any products on the market which charge electronics as you bike?

I saw one made by a chinese company but it looks like it's designed for their specific bicycle.

most of the products that will do that are discussed in this thread

cheers

Yes, there are.

Take, for example, my cell phone. It comes with a charger. I plug the charger into the wall outlet and into the phone, and it charges the phone. And while it is charging I can do whatever I want: sleep, eat, watch TV, play chess etc. I can bike too.

I use a PedalPower+ Super-i-Cable which is connected via piggy-back terminals to a SON 28 dynamo. This allows me to either power my lights or charge/power my Garmin Edge 800 and hopefully once a new connector arrives my Google Nexus phone as well.

I would love the pedalpower + super i-cable, but I've read that it doesn't work as well with a son20r hub.

I'm starting to think that getting an external battery will be better for me.

This seems to come with a 12V bottle dynamo and won't work with a 6V hub dynamo. If you don't mind using a bottle dynamo it's probably fine. They are obviously cutting corners by using a 12V dynamo- much easier to rectify 12V down to 5V then 6V down to 5V.
