Wow. An iPod speaker with a murse.

So, how does this work in Low Light/Cloudy situations?

I have one of these and use it often. It works pretty well, and does have the ability to be charged up so that it can run without the sun for awhile. The only bad thing is that it automatically charges the iPod or iPhone that it is hooked up to, so it runs the battery down pretty fast, especially if you leave the device plugged in all the time like I do.

How many do they have of these things!?!

And I was extra bummed because it was a Red Cross "sponsored" (is that the word?) device. wah.

Is the Remote Control solar-powered? Or does it require removable (disposable) batteries???

So will it continue to charge if we are using in the sun passed the avg 4 hr playback time? Sorry if I missed that somewhere. Thanks!

I have a similar solar device and it gained so much weight during the recent solar flare episode, that I can barely lift it anymore.

@cowboydann: yeah id cover my ipod with a cloth if i used it,,

I bought this during the last woot-off and it's cheaper now. Meh.
I've been using this in my greenhouse. Speakers have good sound. No problems popping in my iPhone and using Pandora. Works great so far.
It appears to be well made. Has some weight to it.
It does come with a/c charger. I gave it one good charge from plugging in before I took it to the greenhouse. Since then, I just leave the solar panel up. When I'm ready to use it, it's charged and ready to go.
You can close the solar panel down over your phone/iPod while listening, if you want. This protects your device from moisture and light, if you want.
I'm pleased with it, it does what it says and works for my needs.

I wanted to give you all a little more insight regarding the features of this product, direct from the source (I am on the Eton sales team...but no sales pitch here, just product info).

Solar Panel: High efficiency commerical grade laminate. This means that you will receive a charge in cloudy and overcast conditions, however, you will receive the most efficient charge in direct sunlight. It also comes with an adapter so that you can fully charge the Soulra before you take it outdoors.

iPhone/iPod Protection: There is a cover to protect your device from water (since the unit is splash-proof). However, this will not fully protect your phone from sunlight. The solar panel is adjustable so it is recommended that you angle the solar panel towards the sun while minimizing exposure to your device.

MFI Certified: Each Eton product that is engineered to be compatible with Apple specific products goes through extensive testing, objectively by Apple, before receiving approval.

I bought this the last time on Woot. The sound isn't great, muddy mostly, but on par with others in the price range. The biggest disappointment is that you really can't leave your iphone in the unit while you are actively trying to orient the unit to the sun for charging- my iphone shutdown for thermal protection after about 10 minutes on a sunny 50 degree day. I still use it, but I usually just charge it w/o the iphone in the unit. One workaround that seems effective is to make a cardboard canopy or visor to shield the phone compartment from direct sun while operating. It has worked well so far, but we haven't been much above 60 degrees so far-- we'll see how it works in 90+ temps. This would be most useful for situations when you really can't find an outlet to charge either your phone or a similar boom box. The bag is high quality.
A qualified good deal.

Make sure you charge it before going down the old mine with transistor radio, er, iPod.

The Soulra is compatible with newer generation iPhone/iPods, they are just not listed on the product card since this product was manufactured before some of the new Apple products were released. I have used it with my iPhone 4s and it both plays and charges as expected.
