GreenTech: Solar charge your iPod, cellphone, or PSP with FreeLoader

A UK-based solar technology company (appropriately named Solar Technology) has launched an updated version of their pocket-sized solar charger for cellphones, PDAs, and other small gadgets. The FreeLoader has a set of solar panels which can charge an internal battery. That battery holds enough juice to power an iPod for 18 hours or an average cellphone for 44 hours.

The FreeLoader costs £29.99, which I won't bother converting to US dollars, because unfortunately Solar Technology only ships to the US. If you happen to be in the UK, each unit comes with 11 connectors including tips that should fit iPods, PlayStation Portables, a variety of cellphones, and any device that can be powered via a USB 2.0 cable.

I like this product and intend to order it. I can use it for my cellphone, my iPod and hopefully my Dell PDA.

I'm always on the go and a solar powered charger would be perfect in my pick-up truck doing it's thing while I'm on the road.

By the way I made reference to this post on my blo at http://ipodsid.com/107/charge-your-ipod-organically/

I don't know if using an onion or gatoraid would be an option for me other than at a party but certainly a solar powered option like the FreeLoader is definitely a good idea!
