Nice to see the solar panel backing finally coming out. I read an article at an eco tech site about a month ago and I said the same thing; “The solar panel backing doesnt look bad anyways, so why not!”

I also completely support this and green practices in general, but here’s my biggest (and most obvious) question about putting solar panels on a cell phone: Since cell phones mostly stay in our pockets or purses, when are they going to get sun?

For some of us (or potentially many of us), this kind of technology would require us to change our habits.

Simply recycling cardboard, paper, and plastics required us to change our habits. Think, you’re driving around, might as well throw your cell phone on the dash and let it recharge.

The added positive is that the more products that start using solar panels, the less expensive solar panels will become as their demand increases.

Another added benefit is for people with jobs in remote areas, they can simply charge their phone without an outlet… not only can it be environmentally positive, but I’m sure many of us have been in binds where we simply can’t charge our phones for a lack of outlets or a forgotten charger. BAM! Now you can just throw it under the sun!

I sure would like to see the 2010 iPhone have its entire back as a solar panel.
