 Not easy to use August 23, 2007

Couldn't get it to work, not user friendly. Wish I didn't throw out the box, so I could return it. Waste of money.
 Essential equipment for backcountry iPod users August 7, 2007

I just returned from an 8-day climbing trip and used this charger to keep my iPod working. I take an iPod on my trips to save weight (audio books weigh nothing), pass the time when weather turns bad, and mask the sound of the tent fly flapping during windy nights. I have an iPod nano and a fully charged Solio holds about 1 1/2 iPod charges. I typically left the Solio next to my tent to recharge during the day and it worked great. Interestingly, at some of my higher camps (~6500 feet) the Solio charged more quickly than it did at home (sea level), most likely due to the more intense solar radiation at that elevation.
My only concern is whether or not the Solio is waterproof enough to leave out on days when it might rain. The manual says "do not immerse in water", and putting the Solio in a clear waterproof baggie might be the answer, but I did not test this.
I wish there was an attachment to charge a Canon NB-4L battery, but so far I have been unable to find one.
Don't buy this junk July 11, 2007

This worked, poorly, for about a month, then stopped charging altogether. In the end, this supposedly eco-friendly device ends up just being more landfill. It seemed like a good idea, but this just doesn't do what it promised. The claim that a charge can be held for up to a year is nonsense. The battery died completely in just one month. DON'T BUY THIS JUNK.
Horrible! June 4, 2007

I bought this for a soldier who is training to go to Iraq, and it does not work. I would never recommend this product. It is horrible that a company would market a product that simply does not do what it says it does. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!
 Great for keeping gadgets going in the backcountry May 14, 2007

I would give the Solio the MVP award for all the gear used on a recent expedition to climb Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina. One member of the expedition brought a Solio along and it found full-time use keeping all the iPods of the team running. I ordered one as soon as I got off the mountain.
Now a friend and I are relying on two Solios to keep cell phones, GPSs and AA batteries charged as we ride out mountain bikes the length of the North American Continental Divide. The Solio's internal battery is charged by day and at night we recharge devices. When we do reach civilization the Solio plugs into the wall and acts like a normal wall charger meaning we were able to leave a wide array of chargers at home. This is a fantastic little device.
