Nissan’s second attempt (after the Altima Hybrid) to actually become known as a green(ish) automaker in America? The Nissan Leaf is a four-to-five seat, front-drive C-segment hatchback.

Nissan’s main selling point for the Leaf is not just that its a specialty urban runabout, but rather, it was designed as an everyday vehicle that meets the needs of 70% of the world’s motorists. Strictly speaking, we think Nissan’s perspective has been based upon practicality (though important) more than the needs of motorists in terms of exterior design.

From Nissan’s point of view, Nissan says that fully 80% of US drivers travel less than 100km per day (62 miles), making the Leaf a solid fit for America’s motoring majority, even taking into account power-sapping external factors like hilly terrain, accessory draw, and extreme temperatures.

This is what you’ve all been waiting folks. Here’s a demo of the LG Crystal GD900’s crystal keypad, it is absolutely, the world’s first. What’s even more amazing as you will see in the video demoed by our friend Helen from the LGBlog is that this transparent keypad has multiple hidden functions. It will not just work as a keypad but also a touchpad for UI navigation, handwriting, zooming in/out and even as a shortcut launch pad! If you’re planning on getting the LG Crystal, you must see the video below first.

A veteran analyst who claims to have seen Apple’s long rumored iTablet has stated that he expects the new device to be announced in September. He also suggests that it could ship as soon as November. Pricing wise, the iTablet’s price will be what you’d expect from Apple and will come in close to the high-end of $700-$800.

Just recently spotted by our friends at GadgetVenue is this newly introduced wrap around portable device solar charger known as the SolarStrap. We love solar chargers here at GadgetLite mainly because these gadgets are so useful when it comes to powering portable devices for absolutely nothing and they are relatively environment friendly compared to others.

As you can see in the picture, Suntrica’s new SolarStrap has been designed for portable use allowing you to charge your device (eg phones, portable music players, etc) while you’re on the move. You can wrap it up using its velcro around rugsacks, luggages or anywhere where you think there may be sufficient exposure to sunlight.
