Thinking ahead to storm-season power outages

If you live in the hurricane zone, storm-season power outages can be a problem.  What if you power is out for longer than your cell phone battery can keep you connected?  Go solar with the Solio universal solar power charger, which is available from many retailers including Target.  It will work out of the box with many cell phones, digital audio players, and digital cameras.  If needed, a wide range of optional tips and connectors can be ordered.

Here is a feature description from the Target web site:

• A portable power source for all your portable handheld devices, including game players, digital cameras, iPods, PDAs and more
• Renewable solar charger draws energy from the sunlight and stores it in an internal battery
• Plug into the sun while traveling abroad (no more outlet problems), camping, at the dorm and more
• Sun’s rays hit solar cells then attach cable, push a button and get instant energy
• Fits neatly in a pocket, purse or backpack
