Apple and Samsung considering solar power devices (by Laura Willard)

 

Solar cell energy isn't new, but it's becoming more popular. Many companies, such as Apple and Samsung, are considering solar energy for future products.

Apple and Samsung have been looking at solar cell options for some of their electronic devices, reports cnet News. Both companies are "evaluating" solar technology, especially organic photovoltaic cells. These "yield a lower sunlight-to-electricity conversion ratio than large solar panels installed on rooftops, but can be fit into small gadgets."
Currently, Samsung has a few cell phones with solar power panels on the back. Samsung also plans to roll out the NC215S next month. The NC215S is a 10" netbook complete with a solar panel on the lid. (No more fancy skins!)
Apple doesn't currently offer any solar powered devices, but the company has applied for and received several patents relating to solar power technology.
While it could be a while before you see any solar powered devices from Apple, or more from Samsung, it's good to know the ideas are in the works.
