Finally, we have an iPhone solar battery charger

It has been a while but we have finally sourced a solar iPhone and iPod charger. We have been waiting for the Novothink Surge for a couple of months to make an appearance down under, which still hasn't happened. However we have found a great alternative in the Solio Mono-a.

The Solio Mono solar charger is a little different to the Novothink Surge in that it is not restricted to just the iPhone (the Surge is an iPhone case with a built in solar panel). The Solio Mono is a stand alone battery charged and topped up by the in built solar panel or by mains power/computer power via a USB port. The advantage of the Solio Mono is that it can charge a huge amount of gadgets, over 3200 - like mobile phones, PDA's, GPS, portable games consoles, digital cameras etc. In fact the perfect companion for a fishing trip, day at the beach or camping trip.

RRP in Australia is $119.95 incl. GST
