I do think it is strange, though, that the Kindle of all things should seemingly be the first device to ship with a solar charger.
However useful it is for a Kindle, it would be far more useful for a smartphone or tablet... and yet, no one seems to be trying to convince people they need to get a smartphone/tablet with a solar charger.
Even the third-party solar chargers that are available don't seem to get much press, and the Kindle will come with one by default?  |
Smart phones are small in size relative to their energy consumption. How big of a solar panel do you need to make a dent charging a 2500mAH battery?
