anonymous asked this question on 28th Nov 2008
Q: Hi is this product compatible with creative zen products? Also, is it compatible with i-River mp3 players? Thank you.
A: You receive the following adapters with the Freeloader:
Nokia phones old 3.5mm jack and the new 2mm jack;
LG Chocolate, LG shine and Prada phones;
Samsung A288 and D800 current series phones;
Sony Ericsson K750 and K800i current series phones;
Nintendo DS Lite;
iPod (compatible with most iPod devices including iPhone and iPhone 3G);
4mm jack for Sony PSP, Tom Tom, most digital cameras, PDAs, 2-way radios;
Mini USB for Motorola, Blackberry, Qtec, Smartphone, iMate, most digital cameras and Bluetooth headsets;
USB female for PDAs, mp3 players, most digital cameras and most devices which can be charged through USB.
Therefore if you can charge your devices via one of those (most likely a mini USB) then the Freeloader could be just what you're looking for.

Sara asked this question on 15th Dec 2008
Q: Would this charge up correctly if left all day on the dashboard of a car as mentioned in the customer e-view, as it would be behind glass (sounds a great idea!)? Also, how would it work in winter conditions (ie cloudy) and is it sensitive to very high or low temperatures? I'm keen on this item but wonder if it would only be effective for summer use with the solar panels. Finally, is it compatible with the HTC Touch Dual smartphone? Thanks!
A: The manufacturer states that light quality plays a key role in determining the speed of charge. The device isn't sensitive to temperature, but cloudy days or the Freeloader being positioned behind a glass window will increase the time needed to charge its battery, possibly taking up to one and a half times longer to charge. The brighter the red charging light, the faster full charge will be achieved.
My research tells me that the HTC Touch Dual Smartphone charges via a mini USB, which should be no problem at all as the Freeloader comes complete with a mini USB fitting. I hope this helps! Jo.

Aaron asked this question on 2nd Dec 2008
Q: I would like to know if you could charge items off the solar panel alone and not off the internal battery.
A: The freeloader isn't designed to function in this way. However the freeloader globetrotter and the powermonkey explorer can charge a range of devices from their solar panels alone.
