apples had similar patents for years, they have nothing to show for it. doubt its enough energy to power anything]]>Jun 7th 2010 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/apple-patent-application-hints-at-solar-powered-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/apple-patent-application-hints-at-solar-powered-iphone/Jun 7th 2010 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/apple-patent-application-hints-at-solar-powered-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/apple-patent-application-hints-at-solar-powered-iphone/
I believe FIG 10 is explaining how cookies are made, and FIG 13 is explaining how whale sandwiches are made..

Seriously though.. WTF is that in the middle on diagram 2.... ?]]>Jun 7th 2010 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/apple-patent-application-hints-at-solar-powered-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/apple-patent-application-hints-at-solar-powered-iphone/
I just realized, what the weird thing in FIG13 is.. (or diagram 2, which I couldnt fix by editing....)

It is in fact, the alien ball of energy in which powers all the magical and revolutionary components inside the apple device.

"So we were thinking, wouldn't it be revolutionary to put a camera on the front of the iPhone so that people can 'video confrence'? Here at apple we like to lead the market with revolutionary innovation".

Who knows, maybe next years iPhone will have an innovative microSD slot. Thank god apples beating the competition to the market with all there cutting edge innovations.

Well thats great and all buuuuuut, 90% of the working public are indoors round 75% of the day...so....it's kinda a moot point because trsut me...my solar charger doesn't work unless in direct sunlight, and its not one of the cheapies. ]]>Jun 7th 2010 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/apple-patent-application-hints-at-solar-powered-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/apple-patent-application-hints-at-solar-powered-iphone/

Exactly.

When im on my cell phone, im either in a vehicle, indoors, or im just not using it.

Do lights inside work the same as sun rays?

Also whenever I was outside, at a picnic, or whatever I could just set it on the table.

from the tone of your post, seems you thought I was knocking it. I wasn't.
It's the first idea where solar powered isn't just about slapping them on the back of the device.

As for indoors? I dunno.
