Regen has filed a patent for what it calls a “conformal solar surface” — an array of small, poly- and mono-crystalline photovoltaic (PV) panels that allow a curved surface to gen-erate electric current. Brunner and his team designed the array to help power this high-end, ultra-efficient flat-panel speaker (with a high-efficiency sub-woofer in the base). It may be the most beautiful and miserly iPhone/iPod dock ever made, drawing only 6 watts but putting out the equivalent of 60 watts (30 watts per channel). A patent-pending user interface tells you how much solar-powered play time you have left. Available early 2010. Regen ReVerb / $2,299
