Sexy Gadgets, Cool Gadgets and Concept Gadgets

I’m sure you all love gadgets and you’re somewhere near to addiction when it comes to using them, but there’s something you must hate as much as I do: the fact that they don’t last forever. As they need power in order to run, they tend to stop working when their batteries are depleted. Unfortunately, gadgets don’t run without a source of power, so other solutions must be developed for this problem. Since the green energy is an everyday issue, here it is another member of the eco-friendly family, the iCharge Eco, a solar powered cell phone charger.

The device can be used not only on Apple, but also PSPs, Nintendo DS, PDAs and a variety of other mobile handsets. So, if you aren’t too impressed by the solar-powered mobile phone concepts out there, due to the lack of any 3G features, that you might be interested in this more conventional way to make your mobile devices green.

Sunlight is one of the best energy sources, there’s no doubt about it, and it is pretty much endless. As important as that is the fact that the sun energy is free and available almost anywhere and, of course, is green, having less impact on the environment.

The iCharge Eco features a generous 1,350 mAh battery that’s capable of delivering an output of DC5.0-5.5V/600 mA. The size of a common candybar phone, the iCharge Eco can be easily carried inside your briefcase or back pack, either. Not to mention the fact that, being a solar charger, you can take it everywhere you want to, including on longer trips through the vast outdoors.

With the iCharge Eco, you need around 3.5 hours to charge via AC adaptor, 5 hours via USB and 15 hours via solar panel. Maybe it’s not enough energy as some of you might have expected, especially the 15-hour charging via solar panel part. However, the device is good enough if there are no other means available to charge your mobile devices.

This solar powered cell phone charger comes with a lot of adapter plugs for various devices and you can choose between black, white, silver, red, pink, blue or green. As far as the price is concerned, there is no information yet, but the device is expected to come as a very attractive holiday gift.
