I got suspicious that mine was not what it claimed to be when I covered up the 1" x 0.25" solar panel on the front panel, without effecting the display brightness. It was only when I took the thing apart to find a) No wires from the 'solar' panel to the PCB. b) A (long lasting?) watch battery mounted in the case somewhere that I realised I had been had! (The calculator worked and did it's job - but was sold on a false pretense.)<br><br>My Casio desk calculator uses both solar and what I assume is a long lasting battery. I expect the thing will last forever - it's already been going for almost 10 years without a battery change. Thing is, a Bluetooth headset has greater power requirements and I think we need a nice large desktop solar panel for all our gadgets - once Mini USB becomes standard as a power receptical.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Oflife]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 9:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on i.Tech's SolarVoice Bluetooth headset could save the environment, not your look]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/i-techs-solarvoice-bluetooth-headset-could-save-the-environment/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/i-techs-solarvoice-bluetooth-headset-could-save-the-environment/</guid><description><![CDATA[Many solar calculators contain a rechargeable battery.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[simbr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 11:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on i.Tech's SolarVoice Bluetooth headset could save the environment, not your look]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/i-techs-solarvoice-bluetooth-headset-could-save-the-environment/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/i-techs-solarvoice-bluetooth-headset-could-save-the-environment/</guid><description><![CDATA[Some of these use the battery as a backup in the case of a lack of sufficient light.

I have had it for over a year and it's only been charged twice in that year.  Granted it's a big fat goofy looking BT, but it's simple and I love the fact that I never really ever have to charge.  The two times it required charging was once out of the box, and once when I misplaced it in a coat pocket for about 2 weeks.  Other than that, as long as it gets any sort of light, it stays charged.<br><br><a href="http://www.iqua.com/products_sub.php?navi_id=1476" rel="nofollow">http://www.iqua.com/products_sub.php?navi_id=1476</a><br><br>This one looks a whole lot nicer than my Iqua, but I think my next BT headset will end up being stereo instead of just a mono headset such as this.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pitchy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 10:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on i.Tech's SolarVoice Bluetooth headset could save the environment, not your look]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/i-techs-solarvoice-bluetooth-headset-could-save-the-environment/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/i-techs-solarvoice-bluetooth-headset-could-save-the-environment/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is there anyone who would use A2DP on a mono headset?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[simbr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 11:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on i.Tech's SolarVoice Bluetooth headset could save the environment, not your look]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/i-techs-solarvoice-bluetooth-headset-could-save-the-environment/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/i-techs-solarvoice-bluetooth-headset-could-save-the-environment/</guid><description><![CDATA[seems to go well along with that striped London city banker suit.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Unknown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 29th 2009 10:21AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
