I have one of the solio chargers.

http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/pro...solar-charger/

It comes with many different adapters. I also bought the standard nokia charger adapter to the smaller new adapter style so that I could charge my nokia phone and my n800/n810.

It works reasonably well, though doesn't allow the heaviest of use.

I picked up 6 16 gb sdhc cards for photobank, media storage, ebook. I have a bluetooth high sensitivity gps. Maemo mapper is excellent and I installed Kde to print to .pdf, any onlne travel guides.

For my computing needs I have:

1. Nokia N800
2. 6 x 16 gb sdhc flash cards
3. extra oem battery
4. external battery charger, works with same battery for fenix led flashlight
5. Oncourse bluetooth gps
6. battery charger w 12v cigarette charger/ac adapters
7. light weight solar panel (8 oz.) w female cigarette plug
8. set of rechargeable cr123 lithium batteries 1000 ma each
9. ultralight powered usb hub (radio shack)
10. various modded cables, usb to camera, usb extension, mini usb to standard usb female
11. Boxwave usb, cigarette/us 110/220 plug charger
12. international plug adapter
13. mini power strip
14. light bulb outlet adapter

Trying to keep this kit under 2 1/2 lbs. I'll post pics and links if you want.

This set up is ultralight. I have 50 gb of media, 200 movies, wiki offline through sdict, various ebook collections and Kde environment with kde office. Still thinking of porting windows 95 for my ancient quickbooks. I'll be scanning in a mountaineering, wilderness medicine book to .pdf. This setup is the lightest and cheapest fairly full featured portable computing solution. The N800 is lighter than most windows umpc charging bricks.

Where are you off to?
