I jumped on the Solio web site and read a little more about the company and found out that this company actually plants trees to offset the carbon output from the manufacturing of it's products. I think this should have been mentioned in your review as many people who buy for these sorts of gadgets are concerned for the environment and I for one am seriously considering buying a Solio based on this issue alone. Aside from that as your review did state, this device is quite versatile and affordable in spite of the fact that you may need to buy an extra connector pack. Compared with other chargers on the market the Solio seams well crafted and is smaller and cheaper then some which retail for hundreds of dollars. This company also encourages battery recycling and when you are done with your Solio they encourage you send it back for recycling. The small cost of shipping back to the company might be worth it although shipping means gas powered vehicles are offsetting some or all of the benefits of recycling as I live in Ottawa and the company from California. I guess I could just plant a couple trees of my own. After reading your review of the Solio 1000 I was quite intrigued considering the small size and weight of the charger.
