iYo: Yoyo with a cause

A lot of iPod Touch and iPod owners are a bit dissappointed by the battery life.  Swedish product designer Peter Thuvander thought of a remarkable and ubercool solution, the iYo.  An induction charged yoyocharger for Apple.

Since he lives in Sweden, a solar charger wouldn’t solve the problem.  So induction would be the right technology,  a small onboard LI cell stores the electricity generated.  No need to charge as you yoyo. Yoyo and then charge.

You can find a small promo video on his website: www.peterthuvander.se I for one hope that he will find someone to bring this into production.
