I have just started plugging it in every time I am sitting at my computer. At least as long as my Kindle is not charging, but I only charge my Kindle once a month anyway.I wonder how long it will take some environmentalist group to decry smartphones as destroyers of the environment for the amount of energy they consume?
I'm assuming that one end of your charger goes into a USB port and the other into your phone through a mini or micro USB port. They've started making more and more kinds of chargers for those phones, so you're in luck if you want to get more ways to charge it. The other day I also saw a portable charger for $30 or $40 which is solar powered. So all of this is good news for power-hungry phones. Oh, and I imagine that many of those environmentalists are using these cell phones to begin with, so it's hard to bite the hand that feeds them, so to speak.
It uses the same USB plug as my Kindle.Just because environmentalists use them won't stop them from complaining. They have not been afraid of being hypocrites before, why should they start worrying about it now?
Well, I have yet to hear a person on the left slam Apple or even Google for making “too much profit”. The complaints are almost always against companies the left considers “evil” to one degree or another – banks, oil companies, etc. That in itself suggests to me that the whole “99%” issue is wrapped up in more politics than first meets the eye.I am actually tempted to something - the next time I get into a debate with someone complaining against corporate "greed" and the like, I should propose that Apple should hit with a "greed tax", now that they're either the largest or one of the largest companies in the world. We'll see how that goes over.
