CES 2009: LG's Sky Charger is massive solar powered mobile power point

You won't be seeing one of these conspicuously hideous things in the UK - I guess LG's plan to become greener in 2009 doesn't stretch over the water then? Ok, I won't be too harsh on LG - I'm sure it'd love to bring the UK a gigantic solar powered phone charger. But bearing in…
