Today LG introduced the HFB-500, a new mobile phone car kit that uses solar power to provide the energy necessary to run a speakerphone when in the car, making use of the cigarette lighter unnecessary. The hands-free device has 16 hours of talk time and 1,100 hours of standby time on a single charge. It provides one hour of talk time for every two hours of sunlight. The HFB-500 is meant to demonstrate LG's commitment to more sustainable and environmentally friendly products.
