Solar Power Is An Amazing Thing

Ever have your phone die on you when you really need it? (I that has happened to me TOO many times) Well with a portable Solio solar powered phone charger that problem is solved. Now I know most of you are picturing some ugly clunky gadget, that takes days of sunlight to charge. But on average it takes 8-10 hours of light to fully charge the internal battery and with that power you can charge the average cell phone twice, if not more! Also with about an hour of charging, a phone can provide 25 minutes of talking and 10 hours of standby time. As for the design, it may be a little big for a pocket, but it would easily fit into a small purse/handbag and it only weighs 5.8 ounces. It comes in white so it's not to flashy or very noticeable. To start charging, you just have to fold out the 3 panels and away you'll go! Now this device doesn't only charge phones, there is an adapter for the Ipod too. And with every hour of charging, that will give you about an hour of music playback. Another thing to add about it is that there is an included wall adapter and USB cord to charge it like you normally would and it takes only 4 hours to fully charge. The price isn't cheap (at $99), but I would expect that as solar powered gadgets become more popular, the price will drop. I absolutely LOVE the idea and will probably get one (as soon as I get enough money).

Tell me, would you be willing to cough up $99 for a charger that takes on average 8-10 hours to charge? *With Direct Sunlight*

Update!: Just stopped by the T-Mobile Store today and I noticed that they were selling these!  Not only that, but at only $60 bucks, almost half of what you pay on the Solio website.  Also that there are many other adapters for other devices, like cameras and more!  So stop by your local T-Mobile store to check it OUT!
