It’s not just Nokia that wants to go green. Motorola is also jumping on board.
Recently, MOTO patented a solar cell combined with an LCD display. These solar cells are actually a thin film — so called transparent conductive oxides — that reside on top of the LCD screen. The compelling idea is to use the existing screen surface for battery charging — no need for extra space for solar panels. MOTO’s patent claims that black LCDs with a 75% let-through rate is the optimal setting to work with the technology.

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.
