This charger opens up unto 3 individual solar panels. Leave it out in the sun for 8-10 hours to fully charge it or plug it into the wall for 4 hours (the non environmentally friendly way). When fully charged it holds enough energy to fully charge your cell phone, twice! And it stores energy for up to a year. It comes with a bunch of attachments to fit into your cell phone, mp3 player, PDA, and other portable devices you may need to charge. Having this means carbon-free and cost-free charging of your portable devices wherever you are, and no more need to pack all of those individual charging cords!

Neat little gadget for on-the-go solar power.

Charge your cell with Solio!

This is going straight onto my wish list... a bit on the pricey side but who ever said saving a planet comes cheap anyway? Based on all the positive recommends here this looks like a no-brainer. I've been thinking about a solar charger for awhile now but didn't have a clue as to what was a good one.... guess I do now! Just double-check to make sure there's a tip for your brand of phone... looks like my LG will work.

Lots of gadgets to keep charged up. Let's use some of that good old sunshine to power up!

When I first saw this I wasn't in a position to spend frivolously but then I saw that it was on the list of one of my credit card rewards lists, so I got it.

I tend to forget to charge my cell phone until we've just gone beyond the moment when there'd be time to do so. With this baby charged up (when I do think of it) I can just take it, the phone and the cord and charge on the way...

I saw this in a convenience store and really wanted to get it. My well-meaning friend deterred me from buying things "I don't need" impulsively. In my book, if you can never forget something and really wish you had, even months later, then by all means get it!

nice egg-shaped power charger. shape disguises this thing so yo friend won't steal it. niceee
