A brilliant invention.

The Solio charger is so totally cool: the ultimate eco-road-warrior tool. I love being able to charge devices using the sun: seems so green/earth-friendly and adventurous. I am def bringing a Solio w/me on my next extended adventure so I can have my ipod anywhere in the world and not worry about power outlets
