Although the company goes a little far in its promotional copy (“an Iqua handfree device feels like a natural extension of your senses and personality”), Iqua goes much further in making nifty wireless accessories of the sort that are actually useful. For instance, the firm takes an innovative approach to the whole talking-on-your-phone-in-your-car-without-having-to-actually-hold-the-phone-in-your-hands-which-is-good-because-your-hands-should-be-on-the-steering-wheel-anyway thing by way of its Iqua Vizor SUN Bluetooth Cat Kit, a little device which, like many others of the sort, provides for hands-free phone conversations on Bluetooth-compatible phones. What seperates this doohickey from its fellow thingamajigs is that the Vizor SUN also makes use of the solar energy collected by the adjacent windshield in order to keep the thing going even longer. This makes sense; here’s your windshield, after all, shielding you from the wind but otherwise just sitting there and collecting energy from the sun which would otherwise be used for little other than burning your finger if you happen to touch it (perhaps you’re the daring sort). Even without solar power, the SUN’s rechargable battery provides for 20 hours of talk time and 500 hours of sitting-around-and-doing-nothing time, making it just as useful for long road trips as it is for short drives over to the phone accessory store.
Aside from its energy efficiency, the Vizor SUN also sports a dozen or so nifty features like voice-activated dialing, making it every bit as gadget-sexy as its non-solar competitors. If you’re in the market for a Bluetooth set for your car, then, this is definitely the one to get; anything else would be a waste of windshield.
