Product Description

Never be left without power again, plug into the sun

Now the energy of the sun can be captured and placed right in a purse, pocket and backpack - thanks to the award winning Solio Solar Charger for Treo!

The compact Solio features a fan-blade design that allows it to achieve maximum solar area when in use. Just spread out the blades, expose them to direct sunlight either outdoors or affixed to a window, and get ready to take your power on the road. An internal battery stores the power for whenever you need it, day and night. Charging Solio’s battery takes 8-10 hours of direct sunlight, and a fully charged Solio provides up to 14 hours of additional standby time for your Treo.

The Solio can also be changed from wall socket, perfect if you need portable power for your Treo and no sun shine is available. Using the included wall adapter, the Solio can be fully charged in approximately 5.5 hours.

Solio' battery can store energy for more than one year, and the intelligent internal circuitry lets you charge your Treo in about the same time as standard wall and car chargers. The Solio is the perfect solution to charge your phone where electricity is not available such as camping, hiking and boating.Solio harnesses and stores free and clean solar energy from day one. The Solio Charger has been designed with a focus on design, sustainability and it couldn't be easier to use.

StarStarStarStarStar Nice idea, but
User: Rick Cousins, Sep 26, 2008

Pros:  Lots of adapters
Cons:  Slow to charge, not rain proof, tricky to use with Treo

Bought two of these. Take two full days of Texas sun to fill up even with repositioning three times a day. Cool design, but first shower ruined one of them. The other is picky about charging the Treo. Takes a while to decide to charge it. Works with other devices. Battery not big enough for the job especially if you use an aftermarket extended Treo battery. Overpriced vs other options. $99 will buy a 15W solar panel, etc.
