    i got a $20 1200mh one from dealextreme and i find it great, a few major flaws, (not knowing when the batter is full) but it powers the following, powered portable speakers(loud), charges a n95, half charges a archos 605, what i also did was buy a cheap multi voltage wall adaptor and cut the lead and solder a connector that fits the solar panel, now i have all the connectors for various devices...
