Tired of lugging around multiple chargers to re-power your portable electronic devices? Leave your AC adapters at home and experience a new level of convenience and portability! The Socket Mobile Power Pack is a small, light weight mobile charging source for users of portable electronic devices such as Pocket PCs, palmOne devices, PDAs, mobile phones, Smartphones, BlackBerry’s, digital cameras,MP3 players as well as Socket products (Cordless GPS receiver, Cordless 56K Modem, Cordless Serial Adapter and Cordless Hand Scanner). It’s a 5 volt battery pack that can charge/run most 5 volt electronic devices and products that draw power from a USB port.
Features include:
• Powerful Lithium Ion Battery Pack with 7,200 mAh rated capacity.
• Works with Pocket PCs, PDAs, mobile phones, Smartphones, MP3 players, digital cameras, Socket products and more.
• Replaces the need to carry multiple power adapters with a single power source.
• Rechargeable – can be charged again and again, without memory effect
• With a fully charged Mobile Power Pack, you can typically recharge a Pocket PC up to 10 times, or a mobile phone up to 15 times.
In many cases I can see this being better than spare batteries. There is no device compatibility chart yet, which is OK because the unit won't be available until November. :wink: They are anticipating a street price of $119-$129.
