Vodaphone’s Booster Brolly umbrella: let the umbrella do the charging

This gadget was announced by Vodafone UK and it will be released on June 22 at the Isle of Wight Festival. The prototype was built not only to protect you from rain, but it also improves your phone signal. Using 12 solar panels, Booster Brolly can charge your phone via hands free cradle. It also has an LED torch which is charged from the sun and you can use it at night. 

It will be released by the University College London and it will be available in other countries after the festival. The price wasn't announced yet but I think Isle of Wight Festival will reveal it and also other features, if it has some more.
