I've off getting an iPhone and now with the new patent that Apple has filed, I may have to change my mind. I was told the iPhone lost charge quickly and well, what good is that?

The new patent will create a solar powered iPhone and that's a very good thing on many levels. It means you can go out where electricity is limited and still be connected just by laying your iPhone in the sun.

The design won't make the iPhone any larger either. Other companies have attempted to create solar powered cell phones and MP3 players, however by the time the necessary solar panel is added to the gadet, there isn't much room to call the item portable any longer.

Apple is putting the solar panel UNDER the touch screen in a thin layer so it will not require any change in the iPhones current sleek design.

Yeah, I may have to get one now....
