REI's web store has some pretty good reviews from people who've actually used the solar chargers that they carry. I had a gift certificate from x-mas and was looking at them. The reviews were handy - though mostly in talking me out of getting one. I was looking specifically at the High Gear Solar Pod - because it claims to be able to charge under artificial light.

I just saw this at CES: http://dvice.com/archives/2010/01/hymini-portable.php
It seems pretty cool -- charge at night with a breeze, or day with the solar pad - there's a shot of the spokesman holding up the solar panel.For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

I recommend Power Monkey by Power Traveller (that's the company). I've found their solar chargers to be efficient & also robust. By the way - they even do power packs that will charge/power a laptop. Great company - have given Power Monkeys to most of my friends as presents now (just wish I had kept a record of who!)
