Urbanista
Urbanista’s new Bluetooth speaker, the Malibu, has a solar edge. It uses Exeger’s Powerfoyle solar cells to extend its battery life, drawing charge from any light. It's set to cost US$149 (around CA204) when it launches in late September.
The Malibu's built-in 3,600mAh battery can last up to 30 hours on its own. But in the sun, it could stretch to 45 hours of playback. And indoors (near a window), it could go for six months without running out of juice. Urbanista thinks its speaker could last forever if used and recharged in sunny environments.
