Solar powered iPhone?
Posted by Matthew Cawley under General on Friday Jan 22, 2010Hi All,
I’ve just read an interesting post on ubergizmo.com with regard to a new patent that Apple has filed for. Word has it that apple has just filed for the new patent for a portable device that supports solar panels.
Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert this into power that can be used to power electrical devices, with this in mind does this open a new way for battery free mobile phones or MP3 player.
I’ll be quite interested to see where this goes. It’s quite possible that we will see more of these alternative powered devices especially with the concept of the Carbonated Drink based mobile phones (read more about that story here)
I’ll keep me ears open for more developments with this patent.
