Here's another potential solution for the iPhone 3G's lousy battery life: The SOLiCharger, a solar-powered, lithium-ion battery pack.
You can use the SOLiCharger a couple of ways: You could leave it sitting around in the sun for four hours, and then when you need to charge your iPhone you simply plug the accessory into the handset — essentially a solar-powered backup battery. Second, you can charge the SOLiCharger via USB with your computer — like a traditional backup battery. Third, rather than pre-charge the accessory, you can plug the SOLiCharger into the handset and leave it to replenish the phone under the sun, kind of like Superman after he gets beaten to a bloody pulp.
Our first impressions: Sounds like a pretty nifty gadget considering the number of options you have. We've seen plenty of similar battery accessories for the iPhone, and this one appears to be mash-up of many previous ideas.
SOLLight is selling the gadget for $40.
