You’re doing your bit to save the planet: driving around town with solar panels installed on your hybrid car, and keeping your D-cell batteries out of landfills because you recharge all of yours via that gassy ball in the sky, thanks to solar chargers.
But what about gadgets with built-in batteries? When it comes to charging your phone or iPod, the sun has been left you cold. Enter the Universal Solar Charger. Weighing in at about half a pound, the $69 device converts the sun’s rays into juice for your mobile phone and other USB-interfacing gadgets.
An indicator light will change red, orange or green to show how much power remains so you’ll know if you can keep your BlackBerry alive long enough to “work from home” at the ball game. You can also recharge the Universal Solar Charger with AC power at which point the green crowd will most likely pummel you with organic tomatoes.
