Affordable Solar & Wind

Is there a charger I can buy or make for my iPod touch that charges from a portable solar panel?

It would be great to charge when I am camping and stuff. Also I don't mind getting my
Hands dirty so if I can make it out of stuff from radio shack or something that would be great too

ThinkGeek sells one, although it's a bit overpriced:

Also, most solar panels can convert to 12V, so you can hook up a car charger to it if you need.
