Solar Chargers at $39.95 or less for most USB power/charged devices

Have you ever consider doing your little part in going Green by owning one single solar charger for several of your mobile devices, including your iPhone, iPod, mobile phones and even smartphones that uses USB connection to charge? Turn the sun's energy into useful energy in your mobile devices.

Here are some recommendation to go green with $39.95 or less.

iPad Chargers below $20

With the gain in popularity of APPLE iPad, here are some of the chargers available in the market at less than $20. Some of this, like Griffin Technology's PowerBlock and PowerDuo, can be used in iPhone and iPod too. As such, these are great gadget when you are using iPad, iPhone and iPod.

More external power banks

We as consumers are spoilt with choice when getting an external battery or power bank for our electronics gadgets. Here are some I saw this weekend.

Common Sights of Charging Devices in Public

At a 5 star hotel lobby, a video camera is left on the table to be charged by one of the tourist.

Outside the drop off zone of the airport, a mobile phone is left to be charged at the risk of being stolen.

Free Universal Gadget Charger

How does a free universal gadget charger for your mobile phones, PDA, digital camera and gaming devices sound to you?

The only thing is you cannot carry it around you and you have to leave your devices locked in it, hold on to the key that had been left attached to the lock, leave your mobile phone with many missed calls and risk your device being stolen in it.

Despite the drawbacks, compartment 1, 3 and 4 had been taken and I could have the mobile phone ringing in it with a familar Nokia ringtone.

Putting Apple under the Sun

Apple had filed a patent to incorporate their products with solar cells, ie, "solar cells on portable devices". This come at a time when going green is in.

I can't wait to see these "Green Apples" in the market, be it iPod, iPhone or MacBooks, lying under the sun to get a good tan and risk being stolen.

iPhone in Asian regions this year

It was reported (San Francisco/Singapore- Reuters) that Apple is to launch iPhone in 4 regions in Asia- Singapore, India, Philippines and Australia later this year. The spokeswomen decline to comment on its plan to bring iPhones to China and Japan.

There are already a handful of power bank for iPhone in the market, some of which are questionable in quality and performances:-

1. Morphie
2. Kensington
3. XPAL Power
4. PowerRush
5. Wagons
6. Tecyea

I'm sure there are more out there and would like to urge those who are using or have seen other brands to share information here.

I recommend WWI (Works with iPhone) products, especially when it comes to battery because it gives me peace of mind. Why get a Ferrari and fit it with inferior tyres?
