Leave a comment. We’ll pick one commenter at random. Remember to include your real email address in the E-mail address field. Do not write your e-mail address in the body of the e-mail. To do so invites ridicule and a vague sense of dishonor.
Rules: You can win once per day, but you can enter multiple times per post and per day provided the comment content is different each time. Each contest ends at noon eastern the day after the initial giveaway is posted so keep your eye out for late-night contest announcements. To add extra frisson we will post some giveaways to Twitter and Facebook.

Wow I wish I had this charger with me this weekend… I took my iPhone 3G on a 3 day hike to take pictures. If I had this solar charger, I would have been able to use the GPS, Internet, and Phone features without worrying about running out of battery. I would have been cool to rock out to some tunes while hiking, too.

I could definitely use this thing when I am on the road for work. I always seem to run out of battery at the WRONG time.

Great site and luckily you are not firewalled at work so I can keep up with the news all day. This would come in extremely handy for a geek like me that always needs to be connected even when mountain biking or camping.
