Years ago I had a Solio and it was amazing. I used it for a little bit of everything, but it was probably most used for charging my phone. Today, with my gadgets and gizmos it would probably be attached at the hip with my ipad
would def charge my cell phone. be great when i’m up in the woods. can stay in touch for emergencies and stay off that grid!!! : – )

I would charge my Nokia cell phone, and also my SansaClip via the mini USB. It would be so nice to have a renewable energy source for this, and it would make my everyday life even greener (I’m already trying).
I would use this to charge my cell phone while I am in class. I dont use it there.

would charge my cel phone, be great being able to do it anywhere, perfect for camping or other outdoor adventures
I would charge my new Palm Pixi – I wouldn’t have to worry about running out of battery when enjoying nice days out and about. Thanks!
Cell phone; this would make the day so much easier!
This is exactly what my son needs to charge all his gadgets (mp3 player, cell phone, etc) – plus his birthday is coming up soon! At last, he would stop ‘borrowing’ my chargers, which, of course, I have the hardest of time to get back! On the other hand, I would be so tempted to keep this great and cool charger of yours, and leave my old ones to my son. One way or the other, you would be making 2 people very, very happy! ;)
I would charge my cell phone
Cellphone, ipod, and e-reader if it’s compatible – for some reason, they always die when I am not near or able to use an electrical outlet.
I would definitely charge my iPhone, I use it so much that it drains the battery and so I have to recharge it a lot!
Well, since this would be a gift for my husband, he would charge his phone (and probably would charge mine too!)
I would definitely use this to charge my cell phone and digital camera. I live in the desert, so sun is never a problem…it would make my life easier by providing portable power on the go. :-) Thank you.
The primary devices that we would use the Solio to charge with are cell phones and an iPod. The impact of having a Solio is that it’s a sustainable alternative to wall chargers – and one Solio can replace a dozen wall chargers.

I would charge my cell phone. This would make my life easier and greener because I wouldn’t have to charge off all the electricity.

heard only great reviews,so interested,thanks a bunch
I would use this to charge my Blackberry, which always seems to be drained when I’m nowhere near a power source! I’d also use it with my laptop, and maybe my digital camera too!
that would be awesome for cell phone use when hiking or biking out in the wilderness :)
Just became a fan of AC, and off to share on FB! Would love the chance to keep in touch while staying off the grid!
The question should be what wouldn’t I charge with it!

I would use it to charge my phone and bluetooth. Since these are the only things I charge on a regular basis. It would be nice to know I’m using solar energy for this, and would be very helpful when we’re camping!
My beloved solar charger just died, thanks to an unfortunate encounter with a rare Southern California rainstorm. Prior to its demise, I used it for charging my cell phone, computer and camera primarily. Unfortunately, I’m currently back on the grid for these items, since I’m a graduate student without the funds to replace my solar charger. This giveaway would help me return to my preferred, consumption-reducing ways.
I would use it while my son is at boyscouts, or at Dive practice for either his i touch or my phone…
then we wont have to run the car to charge our phone while waiting for him! Since I live in FLA, i would get SO much use out of this, we are always outside..
OH I KNOW>> in the kyack or at the beach!
I’d use this to charge my cell phone.
I love this solar charger! I would use it to charge my cell phone and definitely my ipod so I could enjoy hours of outdoor entertainment! Brilliant!
I am now a fan of the Alternative Consumer on Facebook!
I would use it to charge my cell phone. It would change The fact that my cell would always be charges no matter if I was near an outlet or not.
I am a fan and have reposted this great contest on my fb page!
Nice. I would use this to charge my cellphone, ipod, camera batteries, and possibly my laptop if it is compatible. This would impact me daily since some of these items need daily re-charging. It would be great to use it to charge my rechargeable batteries, too. Since I use the rechargeables most often in my children’s toys, it would be impacting their lives, too. I love the design of the solio classic.
I am now a fan of AC on FB. :)
WOW – my cell phone, my bluetooth, my ipod, and i would have to take a tour around the house to see if there is anything else that could benefit from a solar charge when i am not charging those!
this is totally cool!
I’m off to Facebook this!
I really need this, (Soooo many different adapters!)
I would charge my ipod, zune, cell phone and camera. It would save a lot of time and space and make things much more organized.
I would charge all of my families cell phones, iPods and nintendo DS. And whatever else I could!

I would love a solar charger. I currenty have two lap tops and four cell phones alng with a whole array of rechargable batteries for cameras and other games that I could charge with a solar charger.
