Top Five Cell Phone Makers Announce Green Rating System

Top Five Cell Phone Makers Announce Green Rating System

The world's top five cell phone makers have launched a common energy rating system for phone chargers, in the hopes of making it easier for consumers to compare and choose the model that consumes the least energy.

The new rating system has been developed and supported by LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung Electronics and Sony Ericsson and will ranges from five stars (for the most efficient chargers) down to zero stars for those guilty of consuming the most electricity.

The cell phone industry has become the world's top consumer electronics business by volume and environmentalism complaints have been frequent and persistent.

Chargers actually continue to use electricity when left plugged in, even when the phone is disconnected. Around two-thirds of the electricity used by cell phones is wasted as a result.

Come Surf The Friendly Skies

Let's be honest, flying can be a bit of a drag. Gogo, whose catch phrase is accurately “wi-fi with wings” plans to do something to offset some of the natural potential of time spent high above the earth. Their new Inflight Internet program will allow PDA, cell-phone, and laptop users with Wi-Fi connectivity to stay connected at 10,000 feet on up.

The process is as simple as creating an account before you board your next flight. Then, once your flight reaches 10,000 feet, log on, purchase Gogo and start surfing while soaring.

Gogo will be available on select American Airlines flights, Virgin, America, Delta Air Lines and Air Canada. For more information or to create an account, head over to: Gogo's site.
