This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: None.
Cons: It does work. You can leave it in the sunlight all day and the batteries will not fully charge. I bought it to charge my Sansa clip but instead of re-charging it, it drains it! I bought it just before I left for vacation. Now it's too late to send it back. What a total waste of money.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: None.
Cons: Bought this to charge a Sansa 2GB MP3 player. It would have been the perfect solution if it worked. Doesn't charge, even in full sunlight.
Other Thoughts: Bought as a shell shocker, so it's too much much trouble to return for what I paid. Still, hate to see $$ just washed down the drain. Would be furious if I paid full price.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It kinda charges the batteries
Cons: More often than not the batteries will not be charged in the time frame stated. And even if they are (or you put in full batteries) it does not put out 5V over USB continuously so it cannot adequately recharge a phone. Sometimes it will charge a device for only a few minutes, other times it will not charge them at all.

Features
S1050 solar charger uses the power of the sun to charge two triple AAA NIMH rechargeable batteries, in just 6 hour on a sunny day. The thin portable chargers just need a sunny or shady spot to go to work!
Sleek and slim, the S1050 solar charger fits on a window sill. Once the batteries are charged, the S1050 will work anywhere to charge your devices. The unit is glass free and durable.
Temperature doesn't affect the charger. Solar chargers do not lose performance when the temperature exceeds 77°F (25° C) as under actual outdoor operating conditions. In sunny situations, it will charge a MP3 player in 2.5 hours (See chart for additional charging times).
The solar conductor is constructed by depositing extremely thin layers on flexible stainless steel substrate. Typically the panel is 1 millimeter thick.
The charger is exceptionally durable and is strengthened by being encapsulated in UV stabilized polymers. Glass-Free solar chargers protect solar cells by DuPont polymer films instead of fragile glass.
Utilizing thin film triple junction high voltage technology, this solar charger has 3 times higher shadow tolerance than conventional solar technology to help the unit charge in cloudy or shady conditions.
