Although this charger was developed for use with laptops this one is a scaled down version that with the right adapter cable it is phenomenal for a Zune. In fact this version will charge it faster and more completely than any other charger on the list. At only $39.99, if it is still available, this is the best choice on the list. The specs are comparable to any of the others but the charging capacity is 3500mA instead of the normal 2000mA that most lithium batteries offer. Finding a Zune solar charger is almost as important as finding a good set of earbuds.
