With the festival season kicking off with Glastonbury this weekend, silicon.com has brought together the most interesting tech O2 and Orange have come up with to improve the festival experience.

This is Orange's Recharge Pod which is being used at Glastonbury. It uses solar and wind power to charge up festival goers' mobile phones. It can charge up to 100 phones at a time.
