I really like this commercial from a message and visual style point-of-view but I must admit Professor Gerard Fasel kind of freaks me out but he does look very professor like.

He reminds me of Paul Bettany as the albino priest in The Da Vinci Code. It seems he will be in The Truth About Angels 2009 as an albino security guard.

I’m glad they have extended the idea onto the site, Sharp Solar, that’s a plus. Check out life changing box, very cool visually and worth about 3-4 minutes digging around.

A couple of weeks ago Apple announced plans for a new iPhone.  Word is that they filed a patent to have solar cells on portable devices.

Outfitted with such technology, Apple’s devices, like the iPhone, could have photovoltaic cells stacked underneath LCD touch screens, thus maximizing the area available for harnessing the sun.

You’ll be able to see your device’s solar cells performance information on the main screen next to the battery power, text message alerts and clock.

 

One related product is the 6.4-ounce Solio Mg, $200, from Better Energy Systems. Its three magnesium blades fan out to reveal solar panels, which can store enough power to charge most phones and PDAs twice; an hour of clear sun will give most cell phones 25 minutes of talk time or an iPod an hour of playing time. It takes ten hours of direct sun to fully juice the device. (See Off The Grid But In The Game)

Also, the world’s first solar bag–the Voltaic Systems’ Generator laptop bag–is covered in solar cells and can charge a laptop. It generates up to 14.7 watts after a day of direct sunlight, can carry a 17-inch Apple Powerbook and comes with adapters that allow other electronics, such as cell phones, to be charged.

 

So go off-the-grid with Apple’s new patent, which is said to be out on the market with their new generation of iPhones.
