"CHARGER, SOLIO IPOD BLACK SOLAR"
Smart design, but some room for improvement
The fan blade style design is an intelligent way to make a solar device more compact and portable.  However, I feel the device is still bulkier than it needs to be.  The solar cells only cover about 75% of the surface area of the blades.  Why not make the blades closer to the size of the cells or the cells sized to match the blades (which may give an increase in power generation).  The internal battery idea is great.  It works well.  The charge indicator is a little lacking.  It's a button that flashes once for 25% charge, twice for 50%, etc...  I think an LED bar light would work better for this indicator.<br /><br />I use this device with my Palm Treo 650 and my iPod Video.  So far, I have no real complaints.  It works exactly as solio claims it does.  I just see some room for slight improvements.
