Anyone who has a mobile phone has had a time where they forgot to take their charger with them on vacation or just left without thinking to check if the mobile phone was charged. Well, now there is a solution to this problem, even if you are in the middle of nowhere with no electrical outlets. The Freeloader Pico solar charger will charge any electronic device you have in as little as half an hour. All you have to do is let the Freeloader Pico sit in the sun during the day.

This compact and lightweight solar charger is perfect for those who are looking for an alternative method of charging their electronics as well. The solar panels charge their internal battery in as little as 10 hours or if you are somewhere with electricity the Pico can be charged by USB. The Freeloader Pico can deliver 35 hours to your mobile phone, 14 hours to an iPod or 1.5 hours to a GPS. With four power cable adapters you will be able to connect the Freeloader Pico to nearly any electronic device. This includes Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile phones, most smart phones, Garmin and many other GPS units, PDAs and a connection for USB ports. At around $40, these are the perfect thing to get one for your car and one that stays in travel gear if you travel a lot.

Cell phones have become a part of just about everyone’s life. For many people, cell phones have replaced home lines. Since cell phones have become such a big part of people’s lives, it is no surprise that cell phone providers are coming out with new and exciting new models all the time. One of these new cell phone models is the HTC Desire. This cell phone has been hailed as a work of art and is outselling many of the same type of cell phone models available.

The HTC Desire features an AMOLED capacitive touch screen with a new pinch to zoom feature that allows the user to move between home screens easier than previous HTC models. The screen is 3.7 inches with a resolution of 480 x 800 WVGA and weighs a light 4.76 ounces with the battery. It runs the Android 2.1 with HTC Sense platform with a 1 GHz processor. Talk time on the Desire is around 400 minutes with a standby time of up to 340 hours. With a 5 megapixel camera with face detection, you will be able to take pictures of anything. It features 3G internet with Bluetooth capabilities. Some of the other features of the HTC Desire are social networking, multimedia, and HTC widgets. There are also a few special features such as a feature that lowers the ringtone volume when the phone is picked up and backing up certain data and setting for your microSD card automatically. The HTC Desire will allow you to stay in touch and have fun while doing it.

A new 8 megapixel cameraphone has been spotted in the wild, and is dubbed LG KC780. Given the specs the new KC780 has I would have expected to be nicknamed, but who cares when you get a 13.9mm thick phone that packs a 2.7-inch LCD and incredibly smart Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens.

Actually talking about the camera, it’s the most interesting thing in the whole phone. With Face Detection technology, Beauty Mode that will digitally smooth blemishes and built-in image stabilization the new LG KC780 is probably going to shoot images really nice up to ISO 1600 (it does have a tiny flash over there) and videos at 640 x 480.

One of the most intriguing things (that I honestly didn’t expect) is that the new LG KC780 can act as a wireless Bluetooth webcam for a PC. We’re waiting for a price and a release date because nothing “leaked” yet. – via Engadget
