Its quite amazing the influence the iPhone has had in its short life so far. Consider how many people now own one. Consider how many companies and developers have created applications designed for the phone. Consider how many third party companies offer covers, cases, skins, wallpapers and other accessories.
Despite the amazing breadth of influence the phone has, this product still comes as a very surprising invention. The inventor of the iYo Magnetic Induction Charger resides in Sweden, which has a pretty good reputation of green living and sustainability. Sweden is engulffed by darkness in the winter, rendering solar panels useless. This charger would appeal to those looking to charge their iPhone’s in a sustainable matter during the winter.
I don’t think this will catch on very much here in the states, but I dig this guy’s efforts and ingenuity.
