Solar charger hooks up with iPod, PSP and DS

Solar-powered devices like the Solar-fine 1350 from Links International in Japan always sound like a great idea but rarely deliver much in practice, due to the inherent problem of actually finding enough sun at the right time to make them practical.

The new ¥7,980 charger tries to make itself more attractive than the competition by including adapters for juicing up the most common products. Dongles are included for a range of devices, including almost all Japanese mobile phones, various handheld games machines, including the PSP and DS, and – of course – most members of the iPod family.

With a capacity of 1350mAh (you guessed that one, right?) and a voltage of 3.7V, the Solar-fine is obviously up to the job, but a solar-charging time of ten hours might explain why Links has included the option to charge by AC or USB too.

• Actually this is not something new, three years ago I buy a solar charger for my cellphone, it quite works well.
  Save me from a lot of troubles.

  Nevertheless, it’s glad to see that my PSP can be recharged anytime and anywhere at daylight.

  Nice.....

• Oh well, at least its far more usefull than the solar powered torch.

• I think the Sun is the answer to many of our future energy needs. I also think that there are going to be lots of failures along the way - this looks good to me!
