 Great eco / emergency product November 19, 2009
Thomas E. Howe (Hanover Park, IL USA)
This is a great idea for both camping/hiking and emergency kit (earthquake/storm) as you can power and charge your phone, mp3 player, handheld games etc. They have all the common adapter tips except my plantronics bluetooth (my next headset will be micro usb and be covered too). If you run it out of charge, it can even be recharged solar. If some of the lost hikers had this with their cell phones they'd have been able to call for help for weeks. For long flights it recharges the MP3 or games. Somebody was thinking!
Brought my Ipod back to life November 15, 2009
mark IV (California)
I thought my Ipod was going to be permanently attached to my clock radio. The battery was dead after always sitting on a charger. I couldn't take it out of the house because it would only last 5 minutes. Now with this super handy portable charger, my music is with me again. It charged up quickly out of the box with the ac adapter and I was off and running. It kept my Ipod going while I took a long walk. The best part is when the battery runs out, I always have the sun to keep the power on.
 May be good for some, not for Blackberry November 11, 2009

This product may be good for some things. (Maybe things that don't take much to charge.) After charger it fully overnight, I hooked it up to my Blackberry Bold that was down to 1 amber bar. I hooked up this charger, saw that it was charging and let it sit for a few hours. When I looked at it my Blackberry again, it had completely discharged. After recharging the charger, I hooked it up and again it showed it was charging. I let it sit and watched it, it went up to 1 white bar, then after a little longer, went backwards. The most I could get it to charge my Blackberry was 1 bar and my phone didn't last long with just that 1 bar.
works great for everything! November 10, 2009

This charger works great with my LG Rumor, Ipod and Kindle. Its super convenient that you can charge so many diffrent electronic devices with the same charger. I like how you can charge this charger by AC/USB and solar.
 Nice and compact, but has shortcomings October 26, 2009

I bought this because I wanted something small to keep in my briefcase for when I needed extra power for my BlackBerry Tour or iPod Touch, and also because of this product's claimed solar recharge ability. The product comes with lots of different tips (though remarkably not one for the Kindle 1, which was a disappointment). I gave it only four stars because of some shortcomings:
1. This product did power my iPod Touch for two hours. But then this product took 3 1/2 hours to recharge in an AC outlet. I have another portable charger (Tekkeon MP-1800) that is a little bulkier, but provides a much longer charge time and has a shorter recharge time. A portable charger should not take a lot longer to recharge than the charge it supplies. And for a long plane or car ride, this unit would quickly "run out of gas."
2. When this product is charging in an AC outlet, you can simultaneously power a gadget. That is fairly standard with any portable power supply. I was hoping, however, that I might be able to do the same thing with a solar charge after I had sunlight on this unit for a couple of hours. No such luck. Instead this unit powered my iPod Touch for only a short time after being exposed to the sun for a couple of hours and not reaching a full charge. This means that if you go to the beach, for example, and forgot to charge your iPod, and have used up the power on this product, then you will be out of luck for many hours.
3. Any portable power source eventually loses power. However after a few days in my briefcase this unit lost more power than I expected.
4. Most portable power sources require a USB cable to power an iPod gadget. Not this unit, which instead uses a simple adapter. While it is convenient not to have to bring along a USB cable, unless you keep the adapter perfectly straight while attached to this unit and the iPod, you will lose the charge connection. If you are not using the iPod and are just charging it on a flat surface, that is fine. But if you want to put it on your lap and listen to it while charging, this unit requires more effort than when you use a USB cable and just put the portable charger someplace off to the side.
Bottom line: This unit does work, but has a limited power capacity compared to other portable chargers. The trade off is that it is much smaller and more compact than most portable chargers, so if size rather than charging capacity is more important, this unit will do the trick. However since the solar charge takes so long, and since the unit will not power a gadget during a solar charge (as opposed to an AC outlet charge), the solar charge feature has limited usefulness. I guess if you are going camping it would come in handy. But if you are riding in a car, for example, even if the sun is streaming in the window, this unit will still run out of power because it uses power much faster than it can be replenished with a solar charge.
I like to have this unit in my briefcase for an emergency. But I prefer my Tekkeon MP-1800 (which I have reviewed on Amazon) as a portable power source for my gadgets when I travel.
