An Eco-Friendly Charge For All Your Gadgets
How many gadgets are plugged in around you right now? Chances are, there’s an iPod, Digital Camera, Cell Phone, Video Camera, Battery Charger, and a whole bunch of other devices and chargers. It’s okay, I do too, but these gadgets do take up a lot of electricity.
The Solio Mobile Phone & iPod Solar Charger is a compact solar panel array that you can use to charge your devices. That’s right! Completely green electricity for a techno-gadget world.
I did find it rather odd that a product called an iPod charger would need a separate kit to charge a modern iPod, but it’s still a pretty cool product.
Other than simply charging your iPod at home however, there’s a great use for this product on the road (car or bike) to keep these devices charged when you can’t plug in. Ever run out of juice halfway through or drive? Just use the sun!
It is also rather expensive, at £49.95 (about $105 Canadian) from Ethical Superstore but that’s what you’ll be paying for many alternative-power gadgets until the technology improves. Solar is still in it’s infancy remember!
While the price-tag makes it a bit impractical, it’s great to see more eco-friendly products, and this shows these types of products are becoming mainstream.
