As much as I would like to go gaga over this new solar-powered iPod dock from Regen, I might have to pass on this one. A three-foot high device is not exactly my cup of tea.
Same as with Regen’s Renu, this new one (called Reverb) will both amaze and appall you. It is capable of shelling out 60 watts of power straight from the sun’s rays. The Reverb can also generate enough electricity to play your music for 4.5 hours at full volume and 12 hours at normal volume.
The device will, however, take 20 hours in order to get a full charge from the sun. But if you’re not that patient, you can plug it in an electric socket.
Honestly though, do you think a $2,229 worth of solar cells is something you need for an iPod dock. If only environmental geeks can produce eco-friendly gadgets for a cheaper price, then maybe there’s hope for climate change after all.
The Reverb will make its debut in April 2010.
