ShinyShiny.tv said "It's no big secret that I have the largest carbon footprint in Shiny Towers, and that I'm not particularly inspired to do anything to remedy this fact. I'm definitely not giving up my daily helicopter commute, that's for sure. What I will do however, is use this nifty little Freeloader, which charges pretty much any mobile or MP3 player you own via the magic of sun, or alternatively through the magic of your USB connection. It's going to be available from 1st March, in lots of retail outlets."

Whoopie.net said "I Wish I'd had one last year! Ok Last year I went hiking up Offa's Dyke, naturally this took a few days. This little baby would have allowed me to take my iPod, actually have used my mobile for things other than emergencies and powered a PSP so I could watch stuff. I thought my solar powered radio was cool!

This little bit of kit is only marginally larger than my mobile - very light and simple to use. It has connectors for nearly every portable Device. At the price they are selling! everyone - even if it's there for an emergency, or you like hiking, taking stuff on the road with you! It's really something."
