Apple planning solar-powered iPods?
27/05/2008 by swordfish.
Apple has reportedly filed a patent to bring solar power to its range of iPod devices and laptops.
Most portable devices can’t rely on integrated solar power, because the surface area required for the solar panels is far larger than the device itself.
Apple has, however, found a novel way of circumventing this problem by placing the solar panels beneath the LCD screen. This allows the device to absorb the ambient light, whilst reducing the physical footprint of the solar panel itself, according to the patent discovered by the MacRumours website.
The site claims that, if successful, iPods and MacBooks could run without any mains charge. However, that seems wildly optimistic.
