Apple handhelds to go solar powered
Our friends over at Tech Digest have heard a rumour from the very heart of Mac Towers, where one observant soul has caught a glimpse of the latest Apple patents being registered. And on that list was...a solar panel-backed LCD screen!
What this means is that Apple has devised a clever little way to power your iWhateverYou've Got while you're on the move using the sun or any ambient light with which your handheld comes into contact. With the current state of solar capture technology, it's unlikely that it'll free your pod, phone or touch from the wall completely but it will be a very useful top up method and you'll feel greener than Alan Titchmarsh's fingers.
