Japan's Cellphone Edge: Solar panel for your cell phone

This is the blog from Alexei Poliakov, a mobile industry professional with Fujitsu. Japan's wireless industry is where America & Europe can be in a couple of years. This blog invites you to have a look at the wireless future by discovering what is hot in Japan right now. The postings on this site are my personal opinons and they don’t necessarily represent Fujitsu’s positions and neither Fujitsu nor any other party necessarily agrees with them.

Solar panel for your cell phone

The problem of depleted battery for your cell phone can be easily solved if you live in a sunny place like California or Japan for instance. A startup with a funny name StrapyaNext shipped its first ‘Solar Charger eco Strap’ product in Japan today. It is a miniature solar panel attached to a cell phone strap as you can see on a picture. When your cell phone’s main battery is about to die, just connecting the solar charger to your phone for 15-25 minutes will get you extra 35 minutes to talk.
