One of the first items to get me excited about ecofriendly gadgets and stealing free energy from the sun is the Solio. It is one of the most popular solar powered gadgets to date. The Solio is a small device that can fit in your pocket but then “blossom” into a three pedaled solar flower.
It was named one of National Geographic’s Best of Gear and has been making its rounds on CNN and other news stations. The Solio is able to charge up your cell phone, mp3 player, gps device, and other small gadgets that don’t require too much power. Solio claims that with an hour of sunshine, you can have twenty minutes of talk time or 50 minutes of MP3 music.
Perhaps the most intriguing uses of the Solio lie in remote areas. With a donated Solio and cell phone, remote villages with no power, let alone phone lines, can connect with emergency services and doctors when the need arises.
