Battery Charger for Solar Phones
Posted on Jun 9, 08 10:07 AM PDT
StrapyaNext and Tokyo Coil Engineering have collaborated to come up with what they tout as "the world’s first battery charger for cell phones based on solar energy." The charger itself is in the form of a phone strap, making it a snap to use. It measures 12.5cm long and tips the scales at 40 grams, but the returns aren't exactly stunning. 6 to 10 hours of charging results in just 40 minutes of additional talk time. Of course, for those in a rush you can always use the AC adapter as that takes but a fraction of the time stated at 3 hours. Only Japanese handsets are supported at this point in time, retailing for $19 each.
