hopefully the headlamp battery life is improved; the rechargeable sucks.

usb? does that mean the solar charger is compatible with anything usb?

I like this....Was I the only person who thought the old version of the Flea that used a battery to charge another internal battery was inefficient, expensive, and kind of stupid...

No

I have one that I don't really like. It turns off on me at all the wrong times. I don't get it. I'll just be riding along and about 10 minutes after I turned it on, it will just turn itself off. Sometimes I don't notice for a few minutes and then I'm really freaked out that I had been riding sans light for a few minutes. Anyone else have that experience? My friend recommended it, but so far I wish I just had a cateye.

Mine only turns off on me when it's very low on juice. I have not been too good about remembering to charge the little guy. I don't think it's too expensive to recharge using regular batteries. 1 D battery lasted several months for me, and I think the little system is kind of cool. I'll be excited to pick one of these up, though. We get plenty of sun out here.

according to their site, it appears so
