iPhone and iPod users will soon have a new way to charge their Apple gadgets and reduce their carbon footprint at the same time. This is will be possible thanks to the newest iPhone and iPod accessory by NovoThink. The company has released a skin with an integrated solar cell that is capable of charging a device using 100% solar power.
The company states that 2 hours of direct sunlight will give the device the capability to provide about 30 minutes of talk time over 3G network and about 60 minutes talk time over a 2G network. The device also comes with a solar planner in order to assess what your solar needs are in order to fully charge your gadget. This application eliminates having to guess how many hours of sunlight you need to fully charge your device. The device is set to cost around $70 and will be available in October. Although a little pricey, the device will protect your favorite device and also charge it for you off the grid, saving you money and keeping your footprint low. The other plus point is that since it is specifically made for Apple gadgets it will fit perfectly.
