The Freeloader Pico is a nifty little solar charger that fits in your pocket but packs a powerful punch.  I was dubious at first about how effective the Freeloader Pico Solar charger would be, especially with the traditionally week British sunshine but I have been more than pleasantly surprised. Normally I leave it on the dashboard of my car so that it is constantly charging even in low sun levels and it’s most often when I have driven somewhere and forgotten to bring my phone charger.  It takes about 30 mins to charge my phone (a Nokia E71) which goes from dead to ¾ full in one go. 

The Pico comes with four attachments for small pin Nokia phones, Sony Ericsson, G Series Samsung and a mini USB to fit most PDAs and digital devices.  To fit an Iphone/Ipod you need the Freeloader Pico Iphone/Ipod Adapter (sold separately).  The mini USB adapter can also be used to plug the Pico into a standard USB port and you can charge the device from your PC.

I also picked up a Freeloader Pico Black Gel Case too which offers some protection and also gives the Pico a lower visual profile for leaving in the car.
