Solio Solar Charger (Charges iPods, Cell Phones, etc.)

Are you a gadget freak that is concerned about the environment? Well, get a Solio Solar charger and do your little but significant part. The Solio can charge pretty much any mobile device: iPods, cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs, etc. using an interchangeable tip system. It has an internal battery that stores energy for months at a time, and is also rechargeable via conventional wall power if there’s no sunshine. Lightweight and ergonomic, the Solio folds up neatly and fits easily in your pocket. The vendor has also done its part to help the environment by planting trees to zero out the Carbon release in the manufacture of their product.

Some facts on the Solio from the Manufacturer’s website:

• Charging Solio’s internal battery takes 8-10 hours of direct sunlight.

• Using the included wall adapter, solio will fully charge in approximately 4 hours.
