Amazon.com Product Description
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 white 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. What's in the Box
Solio battery charger, Nokia tip, Motorola tip, Samsung tip, mini-USB tip, interchangeable tip system cable, USB cable, 12-volt universal adapter, global travel charger with adapters, window suction cup, user's manual.

 Go GREEN, and like it!!! October 19, 2009

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.

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 is a light that shows when it is charging and it dosn't come on untill it is aimed directly at the sun so you kind of need to do it on a lay over day when you can position it well. Simple to use, a good flashing light indicator to show how much charge, several adapters and you can use your own adapter for anything that plugs into a USB port, packs nicely. Highly recomended if you are going to be away from an outlet for long stretches and want your cell phone I pod etc.....
Great for Beach Vacations! August 31, 2009

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.
 need adaptor for phone August 12, 2009
Steven B. Friese (Honolulu, HI USA)
Haven't gotten to test this bugger out yet, but wanted to throw this info out there. I didn't see this when I was researching. The classic I bought does not come standard with a iphone compatable charger tip. One can be purchased from the solio website for 9.95. The usb adaptor that it comes with will NOT work. Also, the classic I got comes with a usb charger only. Meaning you can't plug it into the wall to charge it. You can plug it into a computer, and it works fine, but not a wall, so if you are traveling without a computer, be aware, you may need this adapter as well. That's it for now. More later when I get the new adapter.
 Contrary to the claims it works with iPhone, it DOES NOT. July 28, 2009

The specifications on the device claim it works with iPhone, however that's not true: once you connect an iPhone (3GS, if that matters) to it, iPhone says immediately that the device is not supported for charging. Now I have to return this thing back :(
