Coldplay sell the Solio

Just a quicky. Apple’s iTunes Music Store refers to UK band Coldplay, as “perhaps the most critically acclaimed band in the world”. In concert with their recently released album X&Y they are also selling 200 special editions of that portable solar charger Solio we've noted before. The Solio powers iPods, PDAs and mobile phones. The Coldplay branded version is £79.99. In a recent interview with MTV, frontman Chris Martin said of the band’s interest in things eco and social: "Anyone who criticizes me for talking about fair trade is really a few pebbles short of a beach, because everybody should care about it, just like everyone should care about the environment: because we all live here." ::Coldplay Solio
