How much portability do you need? Don't know if you can get this in the UK, but I have a Xantrex Technologies. Precharged-I think it would recharge your device several times. I am not sure if you could get enough from the solar each day (especially in cloudy weather) to charge the unit, though, and it is definitely too heavy to stick in a backpack.

haha that xantrax thing looks huge compared to the solio h1000
How about Freeloader - available in the UK I think Maplin stocks them if you're near one?
Anonymous, ha ha, indeed.
A little solar panel isn't going to guarantee that you get a charge when you need one.
There are probably smaller backup batteries specifically for iPhones, though!
I second the Freeloader, it works well with decent sunshine but you'll not have a great deal of luck in the UK :)
There's a jumbo sized add on panel called the Supercharger which I have on order, I'll let you know how I get on with it.
Try PowerMonkey explorer. Really good.
Any luck with the solar stuff?
The supercharger+freeloader combo turned out to pretty decent. It helped keep four people's phones, iPods, DS, GPS and cameras charged for a week!
