Take a loot at this photo. Makes me wonder how it actually works. Where’s that cable connecting to the iPhone to the freeLoader coming from? Ah well. Matters not. It’s a cool piece of solar power technology. The FreeLoader is a portable solar charger that allows you to charge your gadgets when you’re away from the nearest wall socket.
The device works as a pure solar power charger via its solar panels or you can also charge the battery by simply plugging it into a USB port allowing you to use it immediately after a quick charge. Of course, it takes longer to charge using the sun’s energy — roughly 8 hours.
Here is a complete list of devices that work with the FreeLoader:
* Nokia phones old 3.5mm jack and the new 2mm jack
* LG Chocolate, LG shine and Prada phones
* Samsung A288 and D800 current series phones
* Sony Ericsson K750 and K800i current series phones
* Nintendo DS Lite
* iPod (compatible with most iPod devices including iPhone and iPhone 3G)
* 4mm jack for Sony PSP, Tom Tom, most digital cameras, PDAs, 2-way radios
* Mini USB for Motorola, Blackberry, Qtec, Smartphone, iMate, most digital cameras and Bluetooth headsets
* USB female for PDAs, mp3 players, most digital cameras and most devices which can be charged through USB
The solar powered FreeLoader is available for SD $49.99.
