Preparing the iPhone for outdoor usage...

Time for another topic (the Mac OS X will return don't worry), getting the iPhone to charge while camping. The idea is that I should be able to be trekking and traveling for as long as I want without losing the connectivity to the rest of the world.

To achieve my goal I just bought a Silva Solar II (http://www.silva.se) and a simple USB car charger. Today there has been perfect weather with massive sun light so I thought it was a good idea to try it out to charge my iPhone.

I got a bit disappointed when it didn't work. Everything seamed to be okey except that the iPhone wasn't charging. After some massive surfing to find other solutions, like having battery packs to increase the current in case it was to low etc I finally found this very informative post: How to Charge an iPhone.

Just got to get something to eat and then I'm off to test his theory. Try to post an update later on.
