I bought this product about a year ago. i travel alot an like to use the cell as back up for when I do not have time to sit and wait in a airport. (can recharge on the plane) For my phone and mp3 player - it has worked great. It will recharge my razor 2.5 times before being drained.
I noticed it seemed to take a long time until I talked with an engineer friend of mine who told me that most glass, especially glad in cars, is designed now to reduce the full impact of the sun in various ways. Best to to this outside. Upon reading reviews, those who had the best charge rates were those who indeed left theirs outside in one place.
Finally - one of the main reasons I invested in this device was to help front the money in a company and technology I beieve we must develop further. By buying this product, I hope the company will make enough to continue to develop better products for us in the future. I have seen this product evolve to this point before buying one...Read more

I've had a great experience with all of my Solio chargers. Critics need to understand the basics of solar power before they complain. This is an excellent product not only for the environment but for the convenience factor. I've had great luck on long camping and back country trips where the Solio has powered my GPS and cell phone when I needed it most. Don't knock it till you try it. And to the wonderful people at Solio I say - keep up the excellent work - I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Solio works,

It takes about 8 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge. If its overcast
and/or not pointed towards sun it will take longer. Best to not do it through
a window. Its just common sense.
It comes with the adapter to connect to the ipod. You just plug the solio to
the adapter which leaves you with an USB connector free to hook to the
ipod or iphones cable that came with that device. A lot of people just don't get the connections. Then just push the on/off button and your charging from the solio's internal battery. If you have almost any cellphone adapters can be easily ordered for around $10.
