The Solio: solar battery power charger for your iPodLeave it to the British, sweety, to come up with such a chic device (any AbFab fans out there?): a solar powered battery backup for your iPod. The Solio, developed by London’s Better Energy Systems Ltd., uses a 1600mAh lithium ion battery to extend the battery life of your 40GB iPod to 9-10 hours. It also works on other iPod models, including the iPod mini. Simply change out the tip and it can even charge your cell phone.

The Solio is not yet released in the U.S., but British and French Mac users can score one for £49.99 from www.ipodworld.co.uk.
