The Sun Also Charges

Solio Charger

Hail? No. One bad case of driver’s seat thigh scorch and the sun secured its place as your elemental enemy of choice.

Don’t get burned; get Solio. The portable charger makes that big ball of helium and hydrogen work for you.

Spin out the compact, lightweight, futuristic-looking little buddy’s three fan blades and let the solar panels soak up the rays. Fully changed in four hours (and storable for up to one year), it’ll have about enough power to full-bar your mobile phone twice.

Each unit comes with a few standard attachment tips for juicing up basic cells, PDAs, iPods, handheld GPS, and digi cams but it’s a good idea to check the compatibility page just in case.

For rainy days, there’s a universal socket plug so you can power up the old-fashioned way.

And even stick it where the sun don’t shine.
