There are more and more mobile and portable gadgets in your pockets than ever: mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players and all sorts of other devices we use everyday. Yet one thing never changes: they all run on electricity and from time to time this happens to go down when one needs it least. Just how many times have you ended your conversations abruptly as the battery on your mobile phone died? Or should I mention those long trips when the batteries in your MP3 player went out and let you without your music, a prey for those you really didn't want to talk to?

Well, each day new solutions for these problems are being developed and today it's the Multi-purpose Digital Solar Mobile Charger's turn.

First of all, I must add that the Multi-purpose Digital Solar Mobile Charger is an eco-friendly power source which relies on sunlight to build up power and store it in high-efficiency Lithium-Polymer rechargeable batteries.

Everything is administered via a small chip that detects power levels, charging levels and current draws, so your ensemble will deliver the best performance. Cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs, PSP, MP3 players, DV and so many more devices can be easily recharged by using this nifty gadget.

The Multi-purpose Digital Solar Mobile Charger's power storage can be easily replenished in almost any condition: you don't literally need direct sun rays - daylight will also do the trick. The folding construction ensures an easy-to-carry design, without taking up too much space in your pockets or briefcase; and on the connectivity side, the Multi-purpose Digital Solar Mobile Charger is hard to beat: this neat power source comes with a heavy array of connectors that should let you link almost any portable device.

We're talking about no less than eight connectors: Sony Ericsson Fast Port, Samsung, Mini USB (for Motorola/HTC/Dopod/MP3/MP4), Nokia (2mm), Nokia (3.5mm) and PSP, making sure you'll be able to use your mobile power supply with anything. The built-in battery can support more than 500 full cycles and the warranty claims it will never fully-load less than 80%. The official specs are below:
