What?! A Solar iPod Charger?

Hey iGeeks, guess what? Apple licensed their first official solar-powered iPod and iPhone charger. It’s called the Solar Surge and will be available by the end of Fall. The Surge can be fully charged by the sun, but also comes with a USB cord for nighttime power-ups. This is a win-win for both Apple and the solar industry – each are getting the other pumped about new technology. And we all know solar needs it. Think of the millions of future solar fanatics won over by the cool little handheld PV panels. And of course, the prospect of curing your dead battery crisis with a quick siesta in the park.

You can pre-order the charger now in one of three different colors: blue, pink and black, all with a metallic finish. The case is light enough to carry with you and includes a wrist or shoulder strap.

The Surge will come in two different versions, one for the iPod Touch 2G and another for iPhone models 3G and 3GS. Both chargers will retail for $69.95.
