Solio H1000 Hybrid Solar Charger - Review

December 8, 2007 at 1:21 pm

I received a Solio Hybrid H1000 solar charger in the post recently so I thought it was about time to test this gadget out.

solio h1000 hybrid charger

The Solio H1000 Hybrid charger is a dual powered mobile charged for mobile phone’s PDA’s and other small gadgets.

It comes with a bunch of connections, including a mini USB, a female USB connections for iPod’s, iPhone’s and other MP3 players, as well as connectors for the majority of mobile phones

Out of the box it comes fully charged, so you are ready to plug it in and charge your devices.

I tested it on my iPhone and it seems to work pretty well and delivers a decent charge to the iPhone.

There are two way you can charge this portable gadget, the first is by plugging it into your PC, I charged it a few days ago and then left it to see how long it would hold the charge, it works well and holds the charge.

The other way is by solar power, this doesn’t work as well, mind you this could be down to the weather conditions here at the moment, no sun and lots of rain.

Overall the Solio H1000 is a great solution if you want to charge a variety of gadgets when you are out and about, even if you just charge it by the USB on your PC it is a great backup power source.

The Solio H1000 Hybrid Charger retails for $79.95 (about £40) and is available to buy online from Amazon.

LG’s New Voyager Mobile Phone - Reviewed - Video

December 1, 2007 at 9:02 am

The guys over at PhoneArena have produced a great review of LG’s new Voyager mobile phone.

lg voyager

The Voyager is an upgrade from the enV, which was introduced around this time last year. Most noticeably, the external touch display and user interface are what set the Voyager apart from any other phone currently being sold by Verizon. It is targeted to the consumer that is looking for the ultimate entertainment/all-in-one device, without having to make the leap into smartphone territory. More importantly, it is designed to distract current Verizon customers wanting a touch-phone from looking elsewhere.

Check out their video review of the LG Voyager in action.
