Coming Soon: Solar-Powered iPods

By Joel Horowitz on May 27, 2008

Apple has just filed patents for the application of layering solar panels into portable devices. Seemingly transparent, the panels look as if they’ll be applied underneath both a glass-topped case and LCD screen. This sort of technology could become more prevalent with the advent of more devices moving into battery-draining 3G territory…which is a nice thing, as the sun hasn’t yet begun to charge us.
