Boblbee Solar Charger

Another green iPod accessory today, the Boblbee solar iPod case is a solar charger for your iPod.

Featuring a stylish solar panel on the back, the case allows you to charge your iPod with the sun, allowing for infinite music play, as long as there is sun.

Charge time is expectedly a bit longer then plugging your iPod into the wall. The case will charge your iPod in about 8-10 hours. This does seem like a long time, but with modern iPods lasting about a day on a single charge, you shouldn’t have to worry about running out of juice. What’s even better is your iPod will be charged using 100% green energy.

When I saw this I immediately thought how cool it would be if this could be combined with a wireless speaker system for your bike. Unfortunately it can’t since they both use the dock connector, but with green technology becoming more and more popular, it probably won’t be long!

The Boblbee iPod Case is not available right now (at least in North America) but it seems like you might be able to order one from the Japanese product page. Anyone able to get their hands on this?
