gadget today | Solar Charger for Your iPhone Works with Wall Power, Charges Other Stuff Too

It’s not often that a solar charger catches my attention. After all, most of them are pretty lame. But here’s one that is impressively versatile.

Let me tell you about the SoliCharger. First of all, it’s not just a solar charger. Yes, it has a 100mA 5V solar cell on the back. Slide in your iPhone, and it’ll charge — somewhat slowly — in sunlight or even incandescent light. But the SoliCharger also has its own Lithium polymer battery, large enough to fully charge an iPhone. And you can charge that battery via the sun, by plugging it into the wall, or by connecting it to your computer’s USB port. Which means you get the best of both worlds: The ability to charge the SoliCharger battery via whatever means available, and then you can use that to top off your phone.

And the SoliCharger isn’t just for charging your iPhone. It comes with a slew of adapters, so you can plug in other phones, cameras, GPS receivers, and more. You can charge an iPhone and a camera simultaneously, for example. That’s not too shabby.
