Ipods may become greener!
Everybody today is talking about global warming, a cleaner and greener earth! So would Apple be not listening? Of course they are! MacRumors recently discovered a patent application that suggests that Apple might be considering the use of solar power for their mobile devices. This means that the battery life can be enormously increased without any further aid than the sun. One significant challenge in implementing this technology has been the size limitation, i.e. snuggling these solar panels in the already size optimised mobile devices. However, this new technique of Apple circumvents this limitation too. Their ides is quite ingenious. It involves using the LCD screen as the catchment area for sunlight and having solar panels behind them. This also means preserving the outward design of the devices. We hope this technology becomes feasible soon!
