A Pair of Solar Powered iPod Speakers Hit Store Shelves
There’s a couple of interesting new portable iPhone/iPod speakers on the market featuring built-in solar chargers.
Devotec Industries’ Solar Sound portable stereo claims to be the first solar-powered speaker also using Bluetooth for wireless music distribution — perfect for piping music from an iPhone during a picnic.
The $99.99 portable speaker includes a pair of 2W speakers using a 150mA solar panel to provide juice for the built-in 1500mAh Lithium-Ion battery. A solar charge provides eight hours of music at medium volume, or four hours if you crank the unit up to 11, according to maker Devotec Industries.
In an Apple-like design touch, a yellow logo lights up during charging. An AC-DC plug and charging cable are also provided.
Along with the portable speakers, the half-pound device includes touch-screen controls and a built-in microphone.

The Sun will power these iPod speakers for 8 hours before recharging.
