Apple Obtains Patent For Solar Powered Devices
TechCrunch reports Apple has got itself the patent for a solar powered device that it applied for in 2009.
This could mean multiple sources of power for mobile devices such as the iPad and iPhone. A solar powered device? Let’s hope so. 
Portable devices having multiple power interfaces are described herein. According to one embodiment of the invention, a portable electronic device includes, but is not limited to, a processor, a memory coupled to the processor for storing instructions, when executed from the memory, cause the processor to perform one or more functions, a battery coupled to provide power to the processor and the memory, and a battery charging manager coupled to charge the battery using power derived from a plurality of power sources including a solar power source. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
Developments like this not only provide us better tools for remote locations, but spin off further technology advancements in the solar energy industry.
