I love my gadgets, but what happens when your cell phone or iPod needs to be juiced up and you're nowhere near a power supply and you managed to forget your iPod cord at home? Thanks to solar powered gizmos, you've always got a back up — well that is, if you have some sunlight to work with!
Novothink has created this hybrid solar iPod Touch charger case called the Surge (patent still pending), but unlike concept designs, this handy accessory will be available later this month for $70. The way it works is the case features 3.7 V lithium-ion battery that can either be charged via the sun (with the built-in solar panel) or by USB.
No word on whether they will come out with iPhone 3G and 3GS friendly versions.

They have a product page for the iphone version right on their website. Great idea and the price isn't too ridiculous. I would definitely try one out.
1very cool - good for days out on the boat and stuff like that
