If you are not willing to fork out $70 odd Dollars for the novothink Surge Solar charger below:

You can always go for this (non-Apple certified) $22 Solar charger case. It is not as flashy and will probably not work as well, however as a emergency case I’m sure it will do

iPhone 3G Solar Charger Cases

Model: A4-A4S-05512

For those of you with the latest iPod or iPhone Touch, in a months time you’ll be able to charge your Apple gadgets with a fancy schmancy new solar case. Novothink, a manufacturer of alternative electronic devices, has just released their Solar Surge for the iPod and iPhone Touch. Your igadget slides easily into the hard case solar charger and can get fully juiced up from the sun! With something this handy and easy, you’ll never have to worry about a dead battery. It’s brilliant really. Can they please make one for Blackberrys too?

I’ve wanted one of these for quite some time and with a recent trip to India I was really sad that i didn’t just purchase it the first time i saw it online.

You see, when you travel you sometimes forget that foreign countries don’t have power sockets that are the same than the ones you are use to, and additionally they aren’t available everywhere.

So with a Solar charger for your iPhone you don’t have to worry about any of these problems, and if you are backpacking you can simply clip it to the outside of your backpack or baggage and let it trickle charge while not in use.

Very cool!

iPhone/iPod Touch: Mobile Safari

Note: iPhone / iPod Touch users running iPhone/iPod OS 3.0 or higher are strongly encouraged to get the RoboForm Free App.

1. Open https://online.roboform.com/bookmarklet on your iPhone/iPod Touch.
2. Once on the page, click the “+” button in Mobile Safari, and choose “Add Bookmark”.
3. After adding the bookmark, click the “Bookmarks” button on the bottom toolbar, and then click “Edit” and select the saved RoboForm Bookmarklet
4. In the Bookmark Editor, remove everything in the URL up to the “javascript” item, so you would remove the “https://online.roboform.com/bookmarklet?” from the URL.
5. Click “Done”.
6. Now, when you are at a website within Mobile Safari that has a login to be filled, just click the Bookmarks button and choose the RoboForm Bookmarklet from the list.

If you have ever needed to fill in many forms online, or worse, if you are a webdeveloper who needs to test online forms, you would agree that after a few forms you get really bored having to retype everything.

I use to use a program called RoboForm, which was (and still is) only available for PC’s (shame of them)

I am extremely happy to see however that there is a Bookmarklet available now which allows you to auto-complete forms online and even on your iPhone.

Update! Flash on the iPhone courtesy of Gordon

Although I don’t really care for Adobe Flash because It has crashed enough browsers because of it being over-used, there is a way that you can use Flash on your iPhone, however the website owner needs to use a special Javascript library to enable this.
(more on this another time)

If this sounds all too technical, it is. For those technically inclined feel free to Visit Gordon’s website

However, if you simply wish to see some examples of Flash (SWF files) actually running on your iPhone simply click the example links above.

Apple sells 50,000 iPads in two hours

Posted by Philip Elmer-DeWitt

March 12, 2010 12:58 PM

By one estimate, pre-orders were coming in Friday morning at the rate of 25,000 per hour

The folks who hang out at Investor Village’s AAPL Sanity Board are too impatient to wait for Apple (AAPL) to announce sales figures; they much prefer to work them out on their own — in real time.

Entering the order numbers associated with their own purchases on a Google spreadsheet, they think they’ve cracked the code. As of 11:05 a.m. ET — two and a half hours after Apple’s online store began taking pre-orders

For those who thought the iPad might not be that well received think again.
They are selling like hotcakes.
