#2 …And Beyond
The Scorpion is not the only solar charger on the market. There are plenty, many of which fit into the palm of your hand. Explore models from Solio, Suntrica, Novo’s hybrid charger case for the iPod Touch, and even one from Kinesis Industries powered by both sun and wind—great for summit hikes.

These are all great products! The Solar Light Cap would have been a great contender for the list as well! It provides 3-4 hours of light from a full day’s charge of its built in solar panel and has 4 modes including Alert, SOS, Strobe and Dimmer. It is weatherproof and provides over 5000 hours of free light from the sun through 2 ultra bright LED lights. Check it out at http://www.currentwear.com.
