Solio Magnesium Edition converts solar power to gadget juice

Like the broad, sun-catching leaves of a plant – nature's original sun catcher – the Solio nabs that sun but, instead of creating carbs via photosynthesis, it powers your equally life-sustaining portable gadgets. While the Solio's been around the block before, the new Solio Magnesium Edition is a little more rugged which, ideally, means it oughta stay away from the landfill a little longer than its predecessor. The unit comes with adapters and a wall charger (for those of you who live underground) and is available for £99.95. If you could care less about the fancy new shell, the original Solio has been redubbed the Solio Classic and is now available for under £50.

USB plugs... MP3 players... Cell Phones...

Why do they create these stuff for such items? I will buy that if they support Laptops and my Playstation 2. Period.

And for your TV to run the PlayStation with?

They make them for small portable devices so you can enjoy those devices in places you're likely to not have power. Not a lot of people go back-packing with laptops, PS2s (and TVs). But plenty do so with MP3 players, cell phones and digital cameras.
