Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Solio Rocsta-i solar charger. 'At 7.5 x 2 x 0.4 inches and 4.7 ounces, the Rocsta-i is definitely bulkier than other solar chargers we've tested. On the other hand, a quick glance at the device's packaging will tell you that the target audience is outdoorsy types who probably don't care so much about making a fashion statement. The Rocsta-i's body is made of an "aerospace-grade" polymer shell, which feels tough enough to handle more than a little abuse. Up top you'll find the built-in carabiner clip, which snaps securely into place. The integrated charge-out cable wraps around the charger's outer rim and clips into the side when not in use. A USB cable is included for charging through your computer, and you can purchase a wall charger as well ($15.95). Most of the front face, of course, is dominated by the large solar panel.'

'Now in its third generation, the Roomba is available in four models, the 581, 563, 555 and 520, which are differentiated by former's ability to be scheduled and that the latter comes with no Virtual Walls. The Virtual Wall lighthouses emit an infra red beam and are used to electromagnetically cordon off the area you'd like the Roomba to work within. All three Roombas can apparently clean up to four rooms on a single charge and will return to their docking stations when finished or low on battery. We're looking at the 520 model today.'
