MobileFun Eco Product - Solio Solar Charger
In a great green move by MobileFun, one of my fave UK Online Mobile shops, they have collated a whole series of Green/Eco-friendly accessories, in case you want to have Mobile Fun (pun intended), AND do your bit for the environment at the same time.
I won’t dwell on all of the various accessories, suffice to say that (a) there are variety of solar, wind-up, and other energy-input variations for the devices, and (b) I picked out the Solio Solar Charger (above image) as a really nice concept. It fans out from a compact rubgy ball shape, to deliver some serious solar panel acreage to charge from. It’s a universal charger, so no worries about charger ports!

Solio’s definitely pretty cool. I remember reading awhile back about Orange working on a wind-powered phone charger that would fit on top of camping tents…
