Solio Magnesium Edition converts solar power to gadget power

The new Solio Magnesium Edition charger works in the same way as its predecessor — fold out the three solar panels and the internal battery will charge up, then you can top-up your gadgets with free, green electricity.Unlike the original version, though, this charger comes in an attractive, solid magnesium case. This makes it more robust, which is good news because the longer a gadget lasts, the more green it is. The charger comes with a host of adaptors, so you should be able to connect to most popular mobiles and MP3 players, and the makers claim you should get two full phone charges or 20 hours of music playback from a fully topped-up Solio.
