If you like gadgets, you are going to love this – I have found a truly great gadget that you simply have to have.

How annoying is it when your iPod runs out of steam, you mobile beeps and shuts down as the charge runs out, or your PDA is down on power? Don’t tell me – it’s extremely annoying indeed.

Well believe it or not, I’ve found the ultimate gadget that does away with all of those possibilities, and not only does it do a great job, it looks brilliant, too.

It’s called the Freeloader, and it’s a portable charger that is powered by the sun.

Small and light

The Freeloader is a small unit measuring just 12×6x2cm, and is made from a lightweight aluminium casing that comes in pink – for the girls – and silver for the lads.

And it gets better, for all you do is clip the pod apart and attach the tow solar panel ‘wings’ and the Freeloader takes the suns rays and changes them into power, stored for future use. When in use, it looks rather good, a bit like a miniature satellite, and very high tech too.

40 hours of mobile power

The Freeloader, with a full charge on board, can power a mobile for over 40 hours, a PDA for just over 20, and an iPod for 18 hours of non stop music. You can also charge it via your PC – great for those cloudy winter days – using the USB cable.

Eight hours in the sun, or three connected to your PC, gives a full charge and the Freeloader is ready to go.

Once charged, the unit can hold it for up to three months, and when connected to a Freeloader battery charger can be used to power up those AA and AAA batteries for your other toys!
The Freeloader comes complete with arrange of adaptors – both 2mm and 3.5mm for Nokia phones, the Samsung range, a variety of Sony Ericsson phones, the Nintendo DS Lite and the iPod – and also with jacks for the PSP and Tom Tom, and a wide variety of digital cameras and MP3 players.
Never again will you be stranded without a phone or stuck without a computer, no more will you have to buy new batteries when you leave the charger at home – simply pull out the Freeloader, clip on the panels and set it down in the sun. Soon you’ll have all the power you need!
