Booster Brolly Umbrella Charges Phones, Boosts Signals

No one will want to buy this bright red, embarrassing billboard. Unless they tone it down considerably.
 
Solar powered umbrella? Am I missing something here? Am I the only one who just uses umbrellas in the rain?
 
There's still light when it rains. 😛

I'm more concerned of the possibility that a large gust of wind rips the umbrella - and your phone - out of your hand... plus the possibility of umbrella theft as a result. 🙁
 
I ain't going to carry that thing around!!
It is embarassing to carry such a thing around under the bright sun!
 
I can imagine people wishing to fork out a little more for such things on their cars as opposed to something as fragile as an umbrella. Now, a large parasol - the sorts you find at pubs - might make more sense...
 
Can you buy the signal booster bit elsewhere? Like for self-installing in your car? I could do with one of them.

Perhaps "parasol" would be a better word for it.
 
How much will it cost and what happens when the folding and unfolding breaks the wires?

Let me guess, you are one of those latitites who resides up at like 30 or 40 degrees north... Hey not everyone has your mild weather and 5 months of overhead sun...
