MobileFun Eco Product - Solio Solar Charger

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!

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
