What It Is: A solar-powered charger for your cell phone, iPod, digital camera, GPS or any other device that requires a power cord.
Who It’s For: Anyone who needs to charge multiple electronic gadgets on the go and wants to not only not pack a million cords but who also wants to stay as green as possible.
Why It’s Worthy: The Solio will not only keep your mobile phone charged while you’re on a hike or a camping trip (so you can call for help if you’re attacked by a bear), but it also functions as a simple catch-all charger that plugs into a wall socket (in case the sun isn’t handy). Plus, Credo Mobile (its current exclusive distributor) traffics in donation-linked products and services that supports causes like Greenpeace, Planned Parenthood and the ACLU.
Our Only Complaint: The bundled adapters only support phones made by Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung and a handful of LG models. Sorry Motorola fans and Sidekick users!
