Solio solar battery charger for iPod, other devices

updated 02:25 pm EST, Mon January 10, 2005

Solio solar battery


is a new device designed to harness solar power to recharge an iPod, mobile phone, or other handheld electronic device. Announced by Better Energy Systems at Macworld Expo, Solio fits neatly into a shirt pocket: "Activating the 5.8 ounce weather-proof Solio is as simple as attaching a cable and pressing a button. Its unique fan blade design allows it to achieve maximum solar area when in use, and to fold compactly to the size of an average mobile phone when stored. When there’s no sunlight, the Solio can be plugged into its dedicated wall charger to recharge its internal battery." Solio also has a convenient interchangeable adapter system allowing an array of mobile devices to be charged without carrying multiple adapters. (Pricing and release date were not available.)
