CeBIT visitors had a chance to see the solar powered cell phone concept, HTW S116, made by the company called HTW Electronics. The HTW S116 sports an array of solar cells that are used for charging the internal Li-Ion battery. According to HTW Electronics, it takes about 40 minutes of sunshine to charge the battery for 20-25 minutes of talk time.

The HTW S116 will also include a 1.3 MP camera, a QVGA screen and a memory card slot. If this ends up working for the HTW Electronics, I guess the other handset manufacturers will follow.

Now the big news – the HTW S116 will hit the Chinese market within a month! (via: Mad4MobilePhones)

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
