Product Description
Travel the world and the seven seas and never be at a loss for power for your rechargeable portable device. That is, of course, if you've got the Solio Classic. Solio, the Universal "Hybrid" Charger, is powerful enough to charge all of your handheld electronic products at home or on the move, anywhere under the sun. Solio is a Hybrid because it can accept power from either the sun or the wall, storing this energy within Solio's internal rechargeable battery. Solio then uses this energy to power your gadgets at the same rate as your wall adapter. Solio will also hold its charge for up to a year. Solio limits your need to purchase and carry around multiple chargers, and is your one stop charging solution for all of your products; from cell phones and iPods, to digital cameras, game players, and GPS. A fully charged Solio Classic will charge a typical mobile phone more than twice or give over 20 hours of iPod music. Compact lightweight design - convenient for travel or emergency use Maximum Wattage - 6 Watts Battery - Rechargeable Lithium Ion 3.7V 1.65A cell DC Input - 5-6V 0.4Ah Unit Dimensions (LxHxW) - 4.72 x 1.34 x 2.56 in (120 x 34 x 63.5 mm); Weight - 5.6 oz. (156g) Operational Temperature Range - -4F to 131F (-20C to 55C)

 Solio works October 29, 2008
S. Clark (Austin, Tx USA)
It takes about 8 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge. If its overcast
and/or not pointed towards sun it will take longer. Best to not do it through
a window. Its just common sense.
It comes with the adapter to connect to the ipod. You just plug the solio to
the adapter which leaves you with an USB connector free to hook to the
ipod or iphones cable that came with that device. A lot of people just don't get the connections. Then just push the on/off button and your charging from the solio's internal battery. If you have almost any cellphone adapters can be easily ordered for around $10.
 Works very well! March 25, 2007

This item, despite some of the negative feedback posted here and elsewhere, works well. I have charged it once within one day in the sun. It was overcast, and charged about 50% in four hours or so. I did not have to move the unit at all to achieve charge. I connected it to my iPod and it charged halfway in approximately 50 minutes. I am very pleased with this product, and would definitely recommend it! The iPod connector IS included, or at least it was with mine. It is a USB female connector, which, combined with the iPod's USB connector, creates the connection from iPod to SOLIO. Great product, no complaints at all though I was wary at first. My only small complaint is that my cell phone cannot be charged with the connectors and tips included, but that really is not why I got this product.
 Its Green but its sooo slow... March 14, 2007

The Solio works great as an extra battery while traveling with the wall charger. But it takes forever to charge from the sun. If you leave it in the window for about a week you might get half a charge. This will charge your phone at least once. Which was the reason i got it. Im sure it will be better in the summer when I bring it to the park or the beach and use it at the same time as im using my Ipod.
The connectors that it comes with are great! and the design is really nice.
p.s after impulse buying this I researched and found possibly better alternatives like solar rolls from brunton. Looks like you can get more for your buck.

the product seems like a great idea, however, it did not come with attatchments for an i-pod, which is the reason we bought it. Called the company to get the adapter and now need the mfg part number. it has just been a hassle
