Dexim P-Flip Solar Charger for your iPhone

[Wiley John Wright]

MMi Live @ MacWorld

Macworld Expo covers a wide range of products, but this year there seems to be quite a few exhibitors with products that help you keep your iOS devices up and running. Dexim wants to help you keep your iDevice fully charged wherever you choose to go. The P-Flip ($79.90) is a foldable solar power battery pack and dock for your iPhone that extends talk time up to 6 hours and gaming up to 10 hours.

The P-Flip features a 2000mAh Lithium Polymer battery that can be charged either by the sun or by plugging it in to an AC outlet. Your iPhone doesn’t need to be in the unit while it’s charging, simply leave the charger in the sun and it should be fully charged in about 15 hour of direct sunlight. It may take more that a day of sunlight to fully charge up the P-Flip, but if you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere, this device could be a real lifesaver.

Many Dexim battery backs feature a flip case design that allow you use the case as a stand. This lets you watch videos hands-free and they work in both portrait and landscape orientations as well. The P-Flip is compatible with the iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4 and are available now.

15 hours to charge though ouch. But guess when in need.

[EskimoRuler]

yea the 15 hours is crazy but i guess if you frequently drive in the middle of nowhere then i could see this coming into play, but i like the innovation and advancement in technology

At least it is a step towards solar recharge. Now time to improve upon it.

Yes great if you have a car. But if you are walking or cycling this is a great product.

They're working on it... Maybe not this manufacturer specifically, but I know that a lot of solar-power advancements are coming, because it's become the next "Holy-Grail" for power providers (be it utility companies, or battery manufacturers.)

You could be dead in LESS THAN 15 HOURS!
Sorry : FAIL

Car charger or battery pack = less than 2 hours

[Cer0]

It is 15 hours to fully charged. So you could leave it on shortly and get some charge.

[Kapowman]

Any1 know if compatible with 4 Gen iPod touch?

[Dr.Xanax]

But what if you're stuck for 127 HOURS

[CaptainChaos]

That's pretty ugly. Great idea, but they need to bring the sexy back.
