Save iPod batteries for a sunny day By Antony Bruno LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - For all their ubiquity, Apple Computer's iPods are notorious for having a frustratingly short battery life. U.K. firm Better Energy Solutions is addressing the problem in an eco-friendly way. Its Solio line of battery chargers uses solar power to energize not only fading iPods, but also mobile phones and other devices. At 5.8 ounces, the chargers are designed to be as portable as the devices to which they provide power. Both the iPod and mobile-phone chargers feature a fan-blade design and open to capture the sun's rays and charge their internal batteries. When there is no sunlight, the Solio can be plugged into its wall charger. The mobile-phone charger uses an adapter system to work with an array of mobile devices, while the iPod charger ships with an iPod connector kit. The Solio line caught the eye of socially conscious rock band Coldplay, which recently made available a limited edition of the Solio iPod charger featuring the cover art of the its new "X&Y" album. Only 200 were made and sold via Coldplay's U.K. Web site. The iPod and mobile-phone chargers are available for about $100 at the Solio Web site and such retailers as J&R Music World (online and in-store). Adapter packs for different mobile devices sell for about $20 each. Reuters/Billboard News Sourcehttp://www.microsite.reuters.com
