The Solio universal "hybrid" solar charger is powerful enough to charge all of your handheld electronic products at home or on the move. The Solio works by absorbing power from either four hours in the wall socket or 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight, and then storing the energy within its internal battery. Once the Solio's battery is full, you can use the unit to charge your cell phone, iPod, MP3 player, PDA, game player, GPS, fish finder, or digital camera, making it a powerful all-in-one battery charger. The universal charger is also environmentally friendly and cost-effective, as the sun- based energy is completely free and creates no harmful impacts. And the design couldn't be simpler, with a fan-blade outlay that achieves maximum solar area when in use. Just spread out the blades, expose them to direct sunlight either outdoors or affixed to a window, and get ready to take your power on the road.
The silver Solio charges your electronics at the same rate as a conventional charger, and stores enough juice to fully charge an average cell phone at least once or an iPod nano at least two times. In addition, the Solio can charge your electronics directly rather than relying on the built-in battery. An hour of sun, for instance, will deliver enough power for about an hour of iPod playing time, 10 minutes of cell phone talk time, or four hours of cell phone standby time. Finally, the energy in the Solio's built-in battery doesn't need to be redeemed immediately, as it stores the juice for more than a year.
To make the Solio easier to use, the device comes with a series of interchangeable tip system connectors, including connectors for Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung cell phones, along with a mini-USB tip and an interchangeable tip system cable. And travelers will love the included global wall charger, with adapters for the U.S., U.K., Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. The Solio, which measures 2.5 by 1.3 by 4.7 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty.

Handy Emergency Charger:
Though it may take a while to charge it up on cloudy days, this little solar charger is great for traveling for your laptop or camera, even MP3 players. I would highly recommend it.
Go GREEN, and like it!!!:
I needed a way to charge my camcorder battery while backpacking in the Grand Canyon. Over 6 miles from an electrical outlet, this worked perfectly. It was also light enough not to weigh me down.
Hike with Tunes:
The charger works great for me. I do alot of hiking alone and with the dog. The I pod nano has become and almost essential part of my long treks and once it's dead it's a real loss. The fact that I can store 2 full charges from a wall charge or solar is great. It recharges the I pod fast and at any time so gets me through just about anything without even worrying about using the solar. Did fully recharge it in the sun in one full day but you have to be vigilant about aiming it directly into the sun. there... more info
Great for Beach Vacations!:
I purchased this charger and have had no problems with it so far. It was able to charge my iPod while on vacation. I don't yet know how well it will work inside or not in full sun, though. My only problem was that the directions it comes with are only IKEA-style pictograms. It could use more actual instructions.
