The Guru is Here
Samsung announced thee launch of its new line of solar powered phones for India. For starters it has an entry-level phone, the Guru 1107, with all basic functionalities priced at an extremely reasonable Rs. 2,799.
It has every intention to introduce a more powerful touch-phones (called ‘Blue Earth’) with full functionality not very different from your average business phone or BlackBerry.
As of now, the Guru has FM radio, MP3 ring tones, embedded games and a torch light. Just the right kind of mix of features to entice rural users to buy it. The Solar Guru also offers a super-Indianized feature called ‘Mobile Prayer’: a collection of various religious prayers and wallpapers. Never thought religion could be marketed to sell renewable-energy friendly gadgets – but hey, no one is complaining. A good point to be noted for future endeavors. Next, we could have sudarshan-chakra styled hydroelectric installations, perhaps?
It must be noted that the primary charging power source of the phone is still electrical and the phone takes 8-10 hours of sunlight to charge for 4 hours of talktime.
Chinese mobile manufacturer ZTE recently unveiled the cheapest solar powered mobile handset called the Coral-200, a solar touch phone costing only $40 (Rs 1,890). Using Dutch-invented technology, the Coral-200 can give about 15 minutes of talk time for every hour of solar charging.
In fact, it was China’s Hi-Tech Wealth, which had manufactured the world’s first solar powered mobile handset, the S116 in 2007. The phone’s battery lasts 2.5 times longer than a traditional battery and can be solar-charged with one hour of sunlight to provide the user about 40 minutes of talk-time.
But what makes the S116 stand apart from other solar powered mobile handsets, is the fact that the S116 can even be charged indoors by candlelight. Now that is truly revolutionary.
But still, by mass marketing such tech in India, Samsung has taken yet another step in the right direction towards our goal. Hopefully it won’t be too long before Samsung figures quicker charging solar cells and more efficient storage of power (Koreans borrowing from the Chinese?!) Go Samsung.

This is really great news for India, not only for rural areas but also major urban cities, where also one has to bear 8-10 hrs power cuts! The only minus point I see is that now on we cannot give the old excuse of not able to recharge our phones due to no power.

This is a powerful article that you have written. I will be sharing this with my prayer group next week and will direct them to your website. I am most attracted to your statement about the way that people feel when they are around someone who compliments them. I never realized how powerful and fulfilling a compliment can be, and the effect that this attitude can have on others. I will make it my personal goal to give more compliments in the coming weeks.2 Day Diet Japan Lingzhi

I do not quite get the whole energy drink rage. I have tried plenty of energy drinks and they do not seem to have much effect on me. I imagine it is mainly placebo effect resulting from their notoriety as quasi “legal highs”.
