LG recently unveiled their new solar power technology for mobile phones, giving users 3 minutes worth of calls for 10 minutes of exposure to sunlight. The phone’s solar technology is harnessed from the battery cover, giving it access to unlimited charging potential. According to them, exposure to natural light allows enough standby time to last forever, never needing a charge.

Nokia’s developing a Zero Waste charger. Gave away a solar powered accessory last week. And now Apple’s turning the iPhone green as well, with solar panels. Yep, call it pressure or part of a bigger corporate vision, but the iPhone is in tweaks to receive a solar charge.

Call it a hybrid of sorts, because the new iPhone in the works (highly doubt it is this one that’s coming in June) will also have a standard lithium ion pack as a backup battery.

My brazened prediction: the future holds a boundless source of solar energy for portable devices. This actually won’t just be because of a function on going environmentally safe, but more so because of new kick ass features that would literally bump off standard battery to a halt. A seemingly limitless battery to run high demand features is very possible.
