[pct-l] solio

The main difference I can see is the sunlinq charger is it's HUGE. The solio
magnesium  has a built in 1800ma battery, so it is a rechargeable power supply,
as well as a battery charger. you can charge it from a usb port, a cigarette
lighter, or a wall charger, or from the sun as a solar charger.
You can charge it at a resupply or trail angel stop, and carry it in your pack
already charged ready to use, in any weather (no sun, or during rain)
The solio magnesium is about the size of the palm of your hand. the charger fans
out to three small panels like  flower  petals.
the solio's are very small, and very light.
I would think the sunlinq would be more for a laptop, zero day charging.
the solios can charge on the top of your pack as you walk, or charge your device
well tucked inside your pack, from the built in battery.

Thanks for the solio suggestion.  Any idea how those devices compare
with roll-out panels like the 12W Sunliq from globalsolar.com?
