Bluetooth headsets are one of those accessories that need to work well and stay the hell out of your way, and often times remembering to charge them (in addition to your phone) is a real drag. Incoming from the ridiculously obvious department: Iqua's solar-powered Bluetooth headset. We're not sure how much solar charging is an order to combat the energy stresses of use (or whether this thing for sure has a battery -- although we can't imagine why it wouldn't), but one less minuscule gadget to worry about charging is just fine by us. We'll hit you with more on this one as info becomes available.
This is a great idea, but I can't imagine too many people who are going to be outside in the sun year round just to keep their headset charged, especially those of us that work inside all day long.
"solar powered" calculators work off of room lighting as well. hopefully this device will too.
You don't need sunlight. Any light will work - have you ever used a solar powered calculator? They work on normal incandescents, and office lights. :)
I, for one, welcome our new solar charging... - Ah, f**k it, nevermind.
