iPhone 6 May Have Solar Charging Capabilities?

       According to analysts, Apple's patented solar technology could be seen in the iPhone 6. In February 2013, Apple has also received patents for its innovation in using solar panels in mobile devices, such as the iPhone 6. The technology would have an integrated touch sensor with a solar panel. This technology allows Apple to "stack-up" touch sensors on top of solar cell layers. The electrodes that would be featured on the integrated panel can be used for collecting solar energy and for sensing on a touch sensor array.
       In terms of hardware, the iPhone 6 is expected to have a quad-core processor with an A7 chip. A 2 gigabyte RAM along with the iOS 7 operating system will enhance the performance of the smartphone. The camera is also expected to be a better quality featured on the iPhone 6 for Apple fans.

SunnyBot uses the Sun to Light and Heat Homes

       Developed by Italian startup Solenica, SunnyBot is approximately the size of a large desk lamp and equipped with an on-board mirror that continuously adjusts to reflect the sun's rays on a chosen area. The idea is to exploit sunlight and recycle it as a light source for other gloomy rooms or to reflect the sun's heat to warm the room, heat a swimming pool or nurture indoor plants.
       SunnyBot is actually integrated with a dual-axis microcomputer that's powered by a row of solar cells and comes with an optional feedback system. The device redirects 7,000 lumens (equivalent to a single 500-watt halogen lamp) with a range of nearly over 656 feet.

Sol -- $300 Solar-Powered Laptop

           The usual problem that arises for a laptop is its power but this won't be a problem any longer for users of a new and cheap solar-powered laptop. Meet Sol, a laptop that was built for costs instead of high speed usage. The laptop features a 1.86 Ghz dual-core processor, an Intel Atom, 320 gigabytes of space, and 2 to 4 gigabytes of RAM. The display, inputs and outputs are standard, including a cellular modem, GPS, and Bluetooth 4.0 built in along with standard wifi.
           The upside with Sol is that when laptops get rusted over the years, Sol keeps on working, which is actually rare for an affordable laptop costing $300 (and has many different varieties of colors to choose from). Sol also obtains its power by the solar panels that unfold at the back of the computer. 2 hours in the sun, on average, means 8-10 hours of time using the computer uninterrupted. This can actually help those, who are in third-world countries, which have infrastructure problems.

Solar powered laptop from Samsung

Samsung had released their first solar powered laptop in India and is now being put onto shelves in South Korea. The mini solar powered netbook was unveiled with a 10.1 inch display and its opposite side is equipped with a solar panel, which has the capacity to have it operate for an hour from having it put out in the sun for just 2 hours. When fully charged, the Samsung (NC215) solar netbook can power up to 14 hours of active use. It is also engineered with a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N570 dual-core processor and 1gb ddr3 memory. In my opinion, the specs would be average for a netbook but, not so bad for something that requires no outlet. What do you guys think?
