Solio - Portable Hybrid Solar Power Charger

I heard about the Solio - Portable Hybrid Solar Power Charger on today's Daily Giz Wiz. I thought it was such a neat little gadget that I'd post about it here on the Gadget Blog too.

This little device uses solar power to charge an internal li-ion battery which in turn can charge various other devices such as an iPod or a Mobile Phone. It's designed to fold up for easy transport then fold open again when you need to harness the Sun's power. It comes with various adapaters enabling you to connect it to different devices.

What a great idea! This would be so handy for trips when you're away from areas that have readily available electricity.
