Power Your Travel Toys with Sunshine
Tired of traveling with as many battery chargers as you have electrical devices, and having to find somewhere to plug them all the time? That's where the Solio Hybrid 1000 comes in. This portable charger can juice up your digital camera, Blackberry, iPod, cell phone, and pretty much any other hand-held electronic device, taking power only from the sun.
But I recharge my camera at night, you say. No worries -- the Solio can gather sunshine during the day and store it (for up to a year) until your devices are running low. A full charge takes 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight and will power up a cell phone twice. The Hybrid 1000, the second generation of Solio chargers, weighs just 4.6 ounces, and is less than 8 inches long.
The icing on the cake? Solio's manufacturer plants trees for each model it sells, so the device is carbon-neutral.

Wow, that's really cool. And quite affordable. I was expecting it to be hundreds of dollars, but the cheapest one was only $70. Spiffy!
