Cheap Solar Charger???

[ExAcHog]

I am looking for suggestions for a cheap (-$60) solar charger for mobile devices.
Does anyone have one they like, or for that matter DONT like???
I would like it to charge my new 4G Droid phone, or a lap top.
Any ideas guys??
Thanks in advance...

I bought a solar panel off eBay for $69 that's about 18" x 18" x 2". As a 20 watt panel, it produces 1-1.5 amps at 12 volt DC. I fitted the cable with a female cigarette light socket so that I could plug in all my electronic chargers. I also have a jumper cable with alligator clips so I can charge auto batteries as needed.

Wife got one as a gift from her work. It's a piece of garbage.

Goal zeros have a rep of going up in smoke.

+1. I took mine to Whitney a week ago and it worked like a charm for my IPhone4. Nomad 7 is 7 watts which is really good. It's a little above your budget but I highly recommend it.

There was an issue with Guide 10 melting but has been resolved with version 2.0. Their customer service it great. They replaced my 1.0 version without having to ship out the old unit. If anyone has the old unit, all you have to do is call and give them the S/N#. A new unit will arrive within 3-4 days.

Might help you decide.

I just got the Goal0 kit mentioned above and aside from some issues already mentioned on the earlier units it's been great so far. Overall their reputation is good and the build quality of the kit seems fantastic.

It is over your price range, but I was originally eyeing a 5w panel from Harbor Freight ($50'ish) and after looking at both the Goal0 was the obvious choice.
