Disruptive Technology Channels announces the availability of a solar powered charger for the iPod - Solio

MacExpo, UK, 18th November, 2004

Disruptive Technology Channels, a UK-based distributor of consumer electronics products and owner of the PodGear™ brand of iPod™ accessories, today announced that it is distributing the Solio™ – a portable charger and battery back-up for the iPod that charges its internal battery from its ergonomically designed solar panels, or the mains.

Tom Dudderidge, managing director, Disruptive Technology Channels, commented: “The Solio is a fantastic accessory for any serious iPod user. Using its solar panels or mains adaptor, it can store enough power for a complete iPod battery recharge. This means that iPod users will never have to worry about battery life again when they are on the move!”

Charge your Solio from mains power; or use the highly efficient, windproof and weather proof, solar cells (patent pending) to generate energy from natural sunlight; and store it in the high capacity integrated Lithium Ion battery. It takes just 4 hours of mains power or 8-10 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge the empty internal battery. This is enough for a full re-charge of your iPod.

The Solio is ergonomic and compact, designed for style and functionality it is made from recycled and recyclable lightweight robust materials. When closed it will easily slip into a shirt pocket and weighs just 165 grams (dimensions when closed: 120mm x 65mm x 34mm).

Functional in temperatures from -20°C to 55°C, it will provide extra safety and independence when you are far from civilisation whether out skiing or trekking the Sahara.
