Sometime ago I heard about solar powered Wi-Fi available at bus stops in San Francisco and thought how innovative it was. However today I have found something much cooler.

Toyota have come up with an amazing new campaign for the launch of its new 3rd-generation Prius car. 18 foot solar-powered WI-FI flowers have been placed around big cities in the US in an attempt to create “harmony between man, nature and machine” (and give Toyota a huge boost in advertising). The flowers provide a resting place for up to 10 people, several chargepoints for all their gadgets and free wireless internet (which is the harmony bit).

This sounds like a great idea but I'm not sure if it would work in London what with all the cloudy skies at the moment.
