A Must Have Solar Charger That Work Indoors Too

 Joos orange is the most powerful and durable portable solar charger you can buy. Recharge smart and regular phones, an iPad, MP3 players, cameras, game devices, and more. Includes charging cables and adapters.
In a day and age where texting, Tweeting and other forms of micro-blogging are the standard, it’s now expected for people to be well-connected, and sometimes we take for granted that a critical part of that is having enough battery power.
This is where solar device chargers can really come in handy: so long as there’s sunlight, you can keep your cell phone charged. This can be absolutely critical when it comes to disaster preparedness, as folks along Tornado Alley and the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States can attest.

The last solar device chargers I reviewed were the Etón FRX-2 and FRX-3 devices, which were extremely weak when it came to providing device power and were clearly for emergencies only. The focus of the solar panels in both systems were to power the emergency radio and flashlight; the USB device charger was a bonus capability. On the other hand, the Solar JOOS Orange system is meant not just for emergencies, but is marketed as a must-have piece of equipment for any tasks that take you away from electricity: boating, camping, and backcountry adventuring. To be honest, all you have to do is stick the JOOS in the sun. When it detects a useable amount of sunlight, the JOOS’s top LED will begin to blink red as it takes in sunlight.  While strong sunlight is best, the JOOS also blinked for me in lower light conditions, such as in the shade, and even indoors while sitting on a table near an incandescent lamp. It will charge its internal battery, or it will pass the energy directly to a connected device.
As for the charging of devices, simply plug in the black-colored connection cable to the port at the bottom of the JOOS. From there, choose which connection tip you require. iOS devices, Blackberries and Kindles will be conveniently covered with the connectors provided, as will many digital cameras. If you don’t have a device that had a connector tip include, don’t despair: use the female USB cable and plug in your device’s charging cable. Other charging tips are available at the Solar JOOS website. Nintendo DS, GameBoy, Sony PSP, and older Samsung and Motorola cell phone tips are available, retailing for $5.99 each from their online store.

LG’s first flexible OLED phone due before the year is out

LG plans to launch a flexible OLED smartphone before the end of the year, the company’s VP of mobile has confirmed, though it’s unclear to what extent the work-in-progress handset will actually flex. The OLED panel in question is the handiwork of LG Display according to VP of LG mobile Yoon Bu-hyun, the WSJ  reports, with the proposed device set to launch sometime in Q4. LG Display’s work on flexible OLEDs has been underway for some time, though the company’s efforts have perhaps been overshadowed somewhat by rival Samsung’s YOUM development. Last year, according to a Korea Times report, LG Display was preparing for
Flexible displays are the Future of IT Industry! A part from 4k and smart home appliances, the CES 2013 saw a lot of attention being drawn towards bendable, flexible displays. The elasticised display idea isn’t something new as we have seen hoards of device concepts being crafted around flexible, bendable and even foldable displays. These concept devices give us a futuristic feel, be it a flexible phone to be worn around the wrist or a phone that opens up to turn into a tablet or PSP-like device. But how far is this future? Nokia has been toying with the idea ever since we remember. The technology sounds very fascinating and the possibilities and the extent to which bendable displays could be used are vast and leave us spellbound. However, these have always been concepts and we haven’t seen any device materialise in the real world. There have been several technologies that were conceived in these years and all have been put to their practical use. But the bendable d
