"You've probably seen mobile phone chargers that can power multiple devices at once and sync data between your phone and a PC. You may have even heard some rumblings about wireless chargers that power devices over the air or solar-powered cell phones. But how about a wind-powered cell phone charger?"
It appears that Orange is going green with the announcement of "The Orange Mobile Wind Charger", a mini turbine that stores wind generated power for the use of charging ones cellular devices. I'm not really sure how I feel about this yet, though I must admit it does sound a lot more eco-friendly than my all time favorite portable charging device -- the converted Altoid tin can USB charger!
