Sun Powered Periphs

The Governator, Arnold, would be so proud. Now Californians and Sherpas across the world can unite to celebrate a zero cost, solar-input energy source for your iPOD, etc. Its so good for the planet it will make your typical SUV driver cringe.

It uses three photovoltaic cells (solar panels) to convert UV to Electricity. The batteries inside store the energy and then the power is transferred to your iPOD through a cable. It folds up and fits in the palm of your hand. Connects with a cornucopia of personal devices and is relatively cheap ($99). 1 hr in the sun relates to 25min of talk time on the Sidekick or 1hr of pumping iPOD basslines. Tree-hugging-fist-pumpers rejoice.
