just curious to how many of you if any have a solio. if you don't know what that is, it is a solar powered battery charger. with it you can charge all of your personal electronics ( ipod, phone, pda, etc.).

i really would like to get one but i have heard some good and some bad things about it. please let me know what your experience is with it if any, or just your thoughts about it in general.

thanks,
travis

p.s. here is a link to the site

Hi Travis
Sorry if you are runing into me again but I may have something here .
I have never used or even seen a Solio but I do use a solar battery charger to charge by AA batteries while on very long treks.
While I am hiking I put my charger in a kayak map case than attached it to the top of my lid of my backpack so the batteries will chargewhile I am hiking . When I am in camp the charger can just it outside my tent or hut. By charger also plugs in to and charges my cell-phone
 
I am using a Brunton solar battery charger AA
 
Just by looking at it I wonder how good the Solio is at charging while you are moving. It looks good for when you are in camp .
 
If you ask me any solar charger is a good idea on long trips.
