Iqua Vizor SUN

I saw the Iqua Vizor SUN in a package at the Apple Store today.

It seems like a pretty clever product. It's handsfree bluetooth phone kit for a car. I assume it works with an iPhone or with any compatible bluetooth phone, as a cordless headset, allowing handsfree talk via speaker phone and voice dialing. Well it needs a phone that can do voice dialing for that and the iPhone doesn't. And there are buttons to push to answer, end, and reject a call, as well as for redial and volume so that's not really "handsfree" but still.

The clever part is that it clips to your car sun visor and works off solar power. No batteries and no cord running to a cigarette lighter. Well there is a corded charger and it's needed for the first charge and when the battery is empty, but other than that, the solar charging should work and give unlimited talk time.

It's about $100 and is new enough that I don't see any reviews other than this announcement from smartplanet.
