Used the same circuit, but with solar panel for my ipod touch 1st generation and did not work.  Multi-meter reads 5v output.  Any suggestions?

 Does your solar panel put out enough current (ma)? If it does not have enough, the voltage drops when the load is connected.

Add a 5.5v supercap so that the system will have some reserve current. You will need a diode, preferably a low dropout one to maximize efficiency.

Thanks for that, I didn't have 150K, 100K worked fine. Next I have to get it hooked up to solar power.
