Now you can power your cell phone and your iPod with only the power of the sun.  This solar cell phone and iPod charger comes with a mini USB cable, 2 iPod adaptors and 5 cell phone adaptors which will work with most Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Siemens and Blackberry cell phones.  You can go from empty to a full charge in less than 3 hours on most cell phones and iPods assuming you have the advantage of direct sunlight.  Even if it’s a cloudy day, you can still generate a charge, but it will take a little longer.  As an avid camper, I think this solar cell phone and iPod charger would be a handy item to keep in the car.  On many camping trips, I’ve ended up with a dead Blackberry and had to leave it in the running car to charge.   Who can afford that with the price of gas?  And my husband loves to take his iPod along on camping trips, so we could both use it.  This solar powered charger is made by Soldius1 and it sells for around $90.

For all of you out there who absolutely detest mowing the lawn, I may have just found the greatest thing since the riding lawn mower.  The LB 3500 robotic lawn mower made by Kyodo America is the world’s first Bluetooth compatible home robotic device, which means that it can be completely controlled through any Bluetooth supporting gadget.  Users can even program the mower to begin mowing the lawn at a specific time.  When lawn mowing time rolls around, the robotic lawn mower comes out of it charging station, mows your yard, and then quietly returns to its station.  According to Kyodo America’s website, the LB3500 is powered by 2 lithium-ion batteries and will mow up to 35,000 square feet on a single charge.  For those worried about this smart mower eating up their flowers, it’s equipped with a sensor for avoiding that very problem.  And, its equipped with built-in security alarm, which is something you’ll definitely need, because your neighbors are going to be very jealous!
