What happened to an old hand crank generator for charging a phone? Not sexy eco friendly enough?

I've got a neat all-band radio that will work on solar or on crank.

It came with attachments to fit most cell phones and will crank-or-solar charge them as well.

Thirty bucks.

The hand crank generators on old rural phones did not "charge" the phone. All they did was to generate a brief burst of AC to ring the operator.
