Pixel Qi unveils solar powered tablet platform

Tired of your newly unboxed iPad running out of juice every now and then? Here’s the perfect way to keep your shiny new tablet all charged up in the outdoors, without having you to skip around for a charging outlet when away from home. Pixel Qi has taken into consideration the woes of tablet-users who run out of juice when outdoors and has come up with a pretty feasible way to charge up tablets outdoors, using solar energy. The concept tablet platform was on display at Computex 2011 using a small $3 solar panel that generates 1W, enough to power on the Pixel Qi display screens well as an ARM-based motherboard, enabling this tablet to stay on so long as the sun shines down on it.

Maybe tablet big-shots like Samsung and Apple could pick out a few inspirational lines from Pixel Qi’s brainchild too!
