I dont want this on my phone adding to the cost, weight and size. Give me a new battery technology that lasts more than 4 hours talk time.

The only time this would be usual is on ruggedized satellite phones or things of that sort when your out in the middle of nowhere.]]>May 26th 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/May 26th 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/
So PFFT. Phone would charge in your pocket. Or, BACK pocket anyway.]]>May 26th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/May 26th 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/
And as were I'm a solar fanboy and love that part of it. My question is wouldn't the constant and gradual charging be bad for the life span of the battery? Is there a way around that?]]>May 26th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/
What they should do is add some kinetic based chargers - we carry the phones everywhere, they are almost constantly in motion - shifting about in your pocket, shacking with your booty in the club ;) etc. Now that would noticeably extend the battery life.]]>May 26th 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/May 27th 2009 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/May 26th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/May 26th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/

Instead, I'd want this on my bluetooth devices. The Blue Ant speakerphone my wife has on the visor in her SUV. Just flip the visor down when you get out of the car and keep it charged.

Ditto my bluetooth earpiece. Just leave it on the dashboard of the car, or out on the desk while at work. Or it would simply charge from the sun while I'm walking around. Plus the chargers for these things are a pain anyway, given how small they are.]]>May 26th 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/May 26th 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/19/sharps-solar-936sh-and-934sh-with-memory-lcd-headline-latest/
"Clearly the big draw here is the big solar array up front that'll give you one minute of call time or two hours of standby per 10 minutes of charging,..."

Sounds like a great thing for cellphones.]]>May 26th 2009 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/May 26th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/sharp-slings-out-industrys-thinnest-solar-modules-for-cellphone/May 28th 2009 7:02PM
