    Solio Charger

    Hi, does anyone know where I can buy the Solio Classic charger in Hong Kong for a decent price? And, is there a cheaper equivalent?
    Thanks!

    oh my apologies... it's a portable solar power charger for phones, ipods and other electronics (notebooks a little tricky though). the solar pads charge up from sunlight and even in strong daylight. they are meant to be very good and the particularly one that i am looking for is the solio one.

    thanks!

    and N&B: now that you now what i am referring to, can you help?

    #1 rule in China: Check it really works before payment
    At least, that guy in the above link had a physical wholesale store in the mall & feedbacks isn't bad. He would exchanges the faulty one.

    Ah ! Now I Know !! But looking at the specifications, I'd think you'd need a day of 43.5 hours that was completely sunny to effect much of a re-charge of anything more powerful than a solid state MP3 player. <Grin>.

    i.e. IMHO - the co$t of the device would be too much for the pitifully small benefits of mains-free re-charging it would achieve.

    Thanks again, humanbeing!

    N&B - aiyah u - it does make sense for travelling in areas without electricity!!

    Well, of course, it is one answer for lack of mains - but a mechanical hand/foot generator would not only give you some exercise, but provide a faster charging rate.
