No, I bought it, but I was tempted to
re-donate to KQED to get another one. I love
the Solio. I keep it fully charged in my bag
at all times in case I need to charge
something, and I can charge virtually
everything I own via USB.
What I really want, and what I hear Solio is
working on, is a larger version that'll power
a laptop or a speaker system so that I can
really get off the grid, but still blast
music to annoy nearby campers.
If every American traded in their gas
guzzling SUVs for hybrids, America could cut
its oil consumption by more than half, and we
could sustain ourselves on domestic oil only
- that means we would not need to buy a
single barrel of oil from the Middle East !

how long does that take?

Takes a bit longer than it normally would, and it totally drained the Solio.

heheh.. were you good and get it as a promo from the KQED "keep the listeners hostage until we make the cash" marathon?
I still think that's a great use ... but would probably keep it in my backback ... (already have the car charger)
Thanks for the great ... Xmas gift reminder. ;)

They already have a new one - here - but the output is still only 5 watts. FEH!
