The ZyRUS Sun Drive is being touted as the worlds first Solar Battery Charger with an inbuilt USB drive. How useful the USB drive is in reality is another matter.
The four functions of the device are:
- Solar charger – The device has a small solar panel on the top for charging the internal battery.
- USB charger – The internal battery can be charged via a USB port
- Flash Drive – Can store documents on inbuilt Drive (2-16 GB)
- External Battery – It has a built in lithium battery (400mAh) so that mobile devices like your phone / Ipod can be charged from this device.
The ZyRUS comes with a number of charging tips that will fit the most popular devices and a couple of USB tips.
This device is small and will easily fit in the palm of your hand and looks really cute however although it may garner some admiring glaces from your friends how useful it is is open to doubt. With a measly 400 mAh battery don’t expect it to be charging many devices I would guess if you’re lucky it may just recharge your Ipod once though I doubt it would even manage that.
Its USB drive isn’t much better with a maximum storage of 16 GB it’s a tad light for me. Also will the tiny solar panel ever fully charge the battery? Again I have my doubts.
Bottom line I’m not all that impressed but if you just have to have the latest gadget / toy then this one will turn a few heads just don’ expect to have bucket loads of battery power in your pocket!
