• Solar powered Eclipse phone bows down to sun for power

  • eclipse-phone-concept.jpg
    Keeping up with the latest trend of going solar, almost everything under the sun is turning to sun only for power. And the latest to join the list is the solar powered cell phone, though a concept yet. Dubbed, Eclipse phone, this communicating device is designed to feed on sun rays to keep itself charged for non-stop yakking. Conceptualized by Brian Ho, I am still confused about how it got christened as Eclipse. The word eclipse implies to hiding or casting a shadow on and on the contrary, this unit will only get its juice if kept out in open. Anyways, Brian knows it better! Unusually shaped, this sleek, green concept may not see sunlight anytime soon as it doesn’t seem to support any other essential features, except for calling and texting.


    A word of advice to all the designers from this humble eco-writer – Please focus on practicality of a product while shaping up your fancy.
