Solar Charger for Apple Products

Apple products have their own following. A while back a solar charger for Apple’s products like the iPhone and iPod was released. Made by Novothink and called Novothink’s Solar Surge this is the first such product which has been licensed by Apple.

There are separate chargers for the iPhone and the iPod. Like other solar charging products, these chargers are great for using outdoors or in places which get a lot of sunlight. They are also good for traveling and whenever you are in a place where you do not have easy access to electricity. These can even be used in countries where the electricity outputs and plugs and pins are different.

In fact the Solar Surge also comes with a USB charger so it is even more useful when traveling. You can use your iPhone to keep in touch and your iPod to listen to music wherever you are, without having to be bothered about power. Priced at $70, it may be a fair price to pay for the convenience and for its eco-friendly value.

The price is much more than the standard USB or the electric charger Apple sells so some might see it as a hefty price to pay, but this one should be seen as more of a travel companion where it may not be possible to charge off the electric mains or off the computer via the USB.
