Hi

I´ve been searching for a solar charger for my iphone on the web. I´m tired to plug it every nigth for charging and I
was thinking to leave the iphone under a small lamp during sleep time and it would be charged in the morning
with no wires.

Have anyone tested one of those silicon case solar charger for the iphone?

Here is the link for the picture

I liked this model most because it is like a normal silicon case to protect the phone plus a solar cell in the back

There are some others on the market that are just slide-in type and I don´t like much the idea.

Any info would be appreciated

You have an iPhone, and you have a choice of recharge power sources - either mains power or solar power.

You have to plug the iPhone into the mains, or plug it into the solar unit.

You would prefer to spend the money to buy a solar unit to use in the same environment in which you already have mains power anyway, and plug into that in order to save you from having to plug into the mains.

Have I got that right?

Runkeeper Pro was $9.99 but now free thru the end of January. It uses GPS
technology in your phone to track fitness activity.

Is this a pretty good running ap? I have 1 question. How does it work if you have multiple devices. Meaning I have a iPhone 3gs, new touch, and an ipad. If I download this app for my phone. How would it work putting it on my touch? I usually just download straight to the phone and not through iTunes. Can I download to multiple devices with the same account. Or should I download through iTunes and then place on the phone and touch?

Is there any way to make the location services work on the 3gs?

It works fine on a 3GS if it is not disabled in preferences.

I looked but don't see the "Accounts" there. Not sure if it depends
on what model iPhone you have. I have a 3GS.

Any ideas?

It's a known iOS bug. Apple says it will fix itself on the 3rd.

Wait a couple of days.
It isn't clear from my reading whether a fix is coming, or whether the bug is only present for the first 2-3 days of this year.
