First Solar-Powered Cell Phone Available in China
As reported in Xinhua, Chinese company Hi-Tech Wealth, has created a solar-powered cell phone. The phone, Model s116, is charged by exposing it to the sun and also by low light such as indoor lighting or even by candlelight.
Model S116, $510, China,
First Ever Solar-Powered Cell Phone
Many other companies have prototypes in the works, but none have gone to market. This phone is only available in China, and goes for a steep $510. I’m confident with time and competition thrown into the mix, solar powered cell phones will become a lot less expensive and one day even go mainstream.
Imagine all the cashola that will be saved as a result of this new and improved eco-friendly technology.
