Sony Eclipse concept draws power from the sun, lives up to namesake

Watching a full solar eclipse is something that rarely happens in a lifetime, and this concept draws inspiration from such a situation. Designer Hoang Nguyen has come up with a new portable media player known as the “Sony Eclipse” which will integrate photovoltaic cells to harness solar energy as it fills itself up with renewable energy. All media can be synchronized through Bluetooth connectivity if you’re knee deep in the wireless lifestyle. Other hardware specifications (hey it is a concept, so why not go crazy?) include Wi-Fi connectivity, auxiliary input and a USB port. All you need to do is fix this onto a window during the day, and let it come out and play at night. Hmmm, sounds vampiric, no?
